Hi guys,

Just my 2 cents.

As far as I'm aware the HD card of the series III seems to be hardware
compatible with the IIx, but can only be controlled through OS9. 

I'm thinking about another route however. One which wouldn't involve
hardware changes. It should be possible to create a small utility
program to dump a IIx disk image over MIDI to a PC. It's not that much
data anyway. The exorciser manuals have some explanation on how the
disks are physically formatted. 

The only stuff I cannot find is how to control the MIDI interface from
a QDOS prompt. Anybody got anything on that?

Cheers,
Patrick
