An FPGA card like the CC-1 is all-digital, so it will be challenging and time-consuming (although not impossible) to model the imperfections in the analog circuitry of the Fairlight II/III.

I would prefer to see the 30th Anniversary system as a standard PC with CC-1 card and SX-20 output box attached. There is no need to waste money and time creating a case that resembles the old Fairlight units. Same goes for the music keyboard. It's not like it was an ergonomic masterpiece in the first place. <grin>
