Fairlight-CMI

I'm afraid I don't have any further information about the old style 
Hitachi hard discs as I gave all of these and controller cards to 
Colin Ross before I left London. You'll also find that the discs are 
next to impossible to find, which is one of the (many) reasons I 
don't get involved in the earlier rev 6 machines any more. Upgraded 
rev 9 machines can format and access virtually any hard drive up to 4 
Gbyes, are lightning fast, AND SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME as before. 
There are a huge number of other improvements and new features too, 
read about them on my website at www.horizontal.co.uk  I know that no-
one on these pages wants to spend money getting their old machines 
upgraded, but I may be able to offer a solution: I could sell an 
upgrade kit of waveform supervisor card, formatted 4 Gbyte hard disc 
full of excellent sound libraries and the revision 9 software, new 
manuals, full instructions and all the loose components for about GBP 
1,000. However, you would have to get a very good technician to do 
this, and you still might have timing problems with old 2 Mbyte RAM 
cards. There are no problems with 4, 8 or 32 Mbyte cards.. I could 
even include a colour graphics card (so you can use a sexy flat LCD 
screen) for an extra GBP 500..    


Hope this is helpful,
