Fairlight-CMI

Hi All,

I am trying to revive a Series IIx that had previously been missing 
the front panel and has sat idle for many years.  I managed to get a 
new panel made several years ago and had the circuit board but I 
dont have details of how this board connects to the other cards in 
the mainframe.  I can see that it should possibly connect via a 20 
pin connector, the one on the side of the board, to the CPU control 
card but I'm at a loss where the bottom connector goes too. Is it 
there for test purposes only or does it link to another card.   I've 
had a look at the IIx Service Manual but this doesn't realy help.

Ideally a picture of the front panel opened up would be a great help.

Apart from this I also have a problem with the CMI-02 card which 
prevents the system from running and causes a series of vertical 
lines on the monitor.  It was working before but I think I made a 
bad connection while trying to sort out the front panel! If the card 
is removed the system will start to boot a system disk (stops 
because the CMI-02 card isn't there so there is no music system!) or 
fully boot an OS disk.  Anybody got any tips what to look for on the 
board?



Thanks in advance.

Tony
