Fairlight-CMI

I just ordered one.  I'll try it and post the results.

BTW Peter W -- the SCSI connector SSD looks cool!

You can think of it in the same way as a memory stick for computers. It has software partitions, so is bootable and very fast. The green LED is power, the red, "disk" access. Check the images I posted in the photos section. This is a prototype, I hope to have something more professional looking soon.
