Fairlight-CMI

Very Funny . . .

How do they peaople give me money for historical and original sequences 
and sounds of :

Michael Jackson, Mike Oldfield, Jean Michel Jarre, Arf Of Noise, 
Indochina, Kate Bush, Tears for Fears, Laurie Anderson, Genesis, Depeche 
Mode, ... ?

For Fairlight CMI II, III and Ned Synclavier and Emulator I, II :)

In 8", 5.25, 3.5" and image disk (work fine under HxC) !
