Fairlight-CMI

Hi every one

for those looking for a solution to their lightpen /monitor 
problems...there are some alternate solutions....

I have adapted a standard lightpen and VDU for the CMI some years ago
You will find some pics and a small demo AVI (low quality , sorry ) 
on the following page ( low quality web page also ;-) )
