Fairlight-CMI

It is indeed Al's IIx. I've lusted after that very machine for nearly  
20 years, so it's kind of like fulfilling a long dream. My plan is to  
slightly restore it. If you've seen the unit, you know that it was  
covered in duct tape and was part of their live set in the late 80s,  
so it's seen its share of abuse. But I'd like to keep some of the  
'patina' intact. I haven't gone through the entire disk library yet,  
just enough to make sure that the drives worked and that the system  
disks were intact and bootable. But if something cool does arise,  
I'll make sure to post my findings to the group!

Thanks for the comments on the light pen. I've put a call into the  
vendor that was recommended and hope that works out.

Cheers,
Scott
