Fairlight-CMI

I've got a Rev C HxC and a Rev F HxC. The Rev C is in my Emulator II and it works brilliantly. I was going to swap it out with the Rev F HxC, and then take the Rev C and try to get it working in my IIx. 

I'm interested in hearing any progress in this respect as well!

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.
