Matters Fairlight are of no importance compared to those of  family  -
my sincere best wishes to you and yours for your son's rapid recovery.

If the date can be set *firm* as Saturday 27th June then I can be there.

I better buy some more 8" discs before the 27th :-)

I can bring my Synclavier PSMT, hopefully the ex. Maurice Gibb
Synclavier II (which I'm told is now working!), a PPG Wave 2.3 with
Waveterm B, Emulator I, II+ and III (we'll see if any of them actually
work on the day!) and of course the Series IIx and Series III I have
for sale.

I'll try and get the five HD's I have here in an enclosure to travel
with - I look forward to trading with anyone who's interested.

If you wanted, get the tapes to me and I'll put some time into
spooling off as many as possible onto hard disc, then onto PC CD-ROM
(can I get a local volunteer to help with this? 'hint hint Peter
Connolly? :-)) - I've got, I think, five Series III tapes somewhere
around here.

A 'swap shop' for parts would be fantastic.

I'd beg for a location outside London - simply because it's a pain to
get *into* London - what about one of the academic sites on the west
towards Heathrow?  They'd be guaranteed to have good Internet
connectivity.

Great to hear from you Colin and I very much look forward to meeting
people on the 27th.
