Fairlight-CMI

Dear Brian,

 

Thanks for your detailed description of all possible drives. It seems that I
would have another problem once I find the HD: to format it :-)

I thought that would be possible straight away but from reading your email
it is clear that it won't be the case.

 

Apart from upgrading to the latest Rev 9.X I'm basically stuck with
streaming tapes :-(

 

Unfortunately I can't stretch to get the sum to pay for the upgrade to the
latest specs.

 

Best regards,

 

S

Hi S

 

For your Fairlight CMI III, rev 6.03 you can use these drives

 

- Maxtor, model: XT1085, Capacity: 85 Mb, TLA 1091205 A, HDA 1050490, PCBA
1059055 (Internal  5.25" drive)

 

- If you have an external HD box with an MFM to SCSI converter card you'll
be able to use this drive:

 

- Fujitsu M2263SA, Capacity 680 Mb (External 5.25" drive).

 

- Maxtor, model: XT-2190, seriel 2, capacity 190 Mb (I'm not sure if this
drive is MFM or SCSI. External 5.25" drive)

 

S if you find a way to make backup of your drives besides to the
tapestreamer (60 Mb) I'll be more than happe to know about it. Also if you
have the format routine for harddrives on your system all be all ears ;-)

 

I feel I'm on borrowed time with my drives which is not backupable and I
cannot format a new HD because of the lack of the format file on my system.

 

Best regards

 

Brian

Dear All,

I own a Fairlight III Rev. 6.03. Does anyone knows how big and what
kind the HD are that I can use? If possible I would like to avoid streaming
tapes and I know that if I upgrade to Rev 9.34 I can use up to 4GB, but at
the moment I cannot stretch to the upgrade price.
