Didn't you have an MFX2 unit running 11.40 ? If so, I'd appreciate
your opinion on my MFX 2 keyboards question.

I don't know, because I do not know the format of the disk.

This is merely an electrical interface issue, the disks are the same.
If you can read these disks on a SCSI drive, you can read them on an
ATAPI drive.

Is there a network interface card in the CMI ? I'm talking ethernet or
similar with TCP-IP. Because if there is, you can connect to your
PC/MAC and transfer files back and forth with FTP as an alternative
since most of us already have a PC or MAC.
