Hi Patrick In the video he is using Rev 19 or possibly Rev 20. When I got my IIx I was told that the Rev was 20 and it was'nt released for the Series IIx. I was also told Rev 19 was the last supported version. The guy also stated that Rev 20 only had Midi improvements. I'm starting to wonder has Rev 20 got anything else in the software that when you add a hardware card for the HD and HD itself they start talking to each other. The guy in the demo (Kendal Wrightson) is the person we need to find or someone who was in the know at Fairlight from around that time. The video shows that it was running still on Rev 19 / 20 and I've noticed that it also has a 5.25 floppy in between the 8" floppy and HD. This video has started me thinking and I would love to know.
