Subject: [Fairlight-CMI] HxC and CMI IIx Floppydrive replacement


First of all: Thanks very much Joe for your help. . I read on the HxC forum 
that problems with image seem to be solved. 
(http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=118&p=6950#p6950)

Next step would be creating a frontplate, same size as one floppydrive, 
holding two HxC "floppydrives" and one switch, so one of the HxC 
"floppydrives" can be switched with the remaining, original floppydrive, so 
8" discs can be copied to the HxC "floppydrive".

Perhaps we can do this as a group in order to keep costs down?


Regards,


Peter Kersten.

I reckon you're all thinking too small and too expensive.

*Everyone* who uses a sampler with SCSI runs into this bother. The E-mu
ESI list (before the moderator stopped approving posts) had a couple of
people a month looking for something like this - and that's just one
make and model, with the people who knew what they wanted to ask for.

Pump them out to everyone that uses SCSI samplers, and even old
computers with SCSI disks. You'll get your volumes up and your prices
down. Everyone wins.
