Fairlight-CMI

Hi all  - 
love the idea a of series IV with two provisos;
 1. that there be some backwards compatibility with my old series III, rev 5.4 so that i can 
transfer files and sequences.
2. that the card can work with Apple Hardware and OS since i am commited (like many) to 
using MACS to make music.

I'd be there with my $ delighted to extend my Fairlight use into the future.
