Fairlight-CMI

Hi James,

It isn't possible to address/format more than 4.095 gigabytes on a MFX-2. It
would take a rewrite of the software which I cannot see happening in the
forseeable future :-)
By the way where are you located ? I am trying to contact more Fairlight
users in the London area.

Cheers,

James Thomson
