Fairlight-CMI

Everything was done with rev 11.39+. 
you need an scsi to ide adapter ( I bought mine on ebay )
and a Compact Flash CF Type l/ll to 3.5" IDE Adapter Master / Slave 
Jumper Selectable and Bootable.
We had many difficulties formating the cf cards despite they were 
always recognized by the fairlight. I could only format my older 
340mb microdrive. So I copied the system on it and I made, with the 
help of my laptop and Winimage, an image drive that I simply recopied 
on an Danelec 1g card. And the fairlight perfectly booted from it. 
Same way for an 1gb microdrive that refused to format.

Next step is to try with a 4gb card, but I don' t have actually one.
