I've got a IIx and Drive 1 has a sticky door latch. Sometimes, especially after running the CMI for a few minutes, the door latch refuses to open. I have to repeatedly press on the latch and with some time, it eventually releases the disk. Is there something that's sticking/catch

Can I format floppies for my IIx using the QDOS 5.07 disk or do I need a special sound disk formatting disk? If I can use QDOS, what is the syntax I need to use? Thanks! Kirk

That's something I haven't thought of. I would have to look into it and see how the file formats operate. It wouldn't happen soonish as i'm deep in other code, but it's now on my radar :) --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, Alex J wrote: > > Hi > Will this app be able to transf

I have decided to offer up my Fairlight CMI Series III for sale as I am not using it as it deserves. This is a machine I bought from group member Peter Connelly in the UK. It was a 6.04 machine that Peter C sent to Peter Wielk to be upgraded to its current 9.34 specs. It is in wo

Hi, I have only seen CMI-01 Rev 5 and 8 cards which are for the series 1. The Rev 5 cards have a cream coloured circuit board and the Rev 8 cards are the traditional green colour. There aren't any filters on these cards as the series 1 software doesn't support a filter.. As far a

Hi All There were quite a few revisions of channel cards for the Fairlight series I and II / IIX. Looking at a few here, the earlier series I cards were labelled plain CMI-01 (rev #), the later series II cards CMI-01-A (rev #). A quick way of telling whether I or II is that the I

Hi all , I do have in stock four CMI 01 REV 7 voice cards. I did get them when bought my Series 3 ... I've never been able to test them since then. I do think these are for a CMI Series 1. I thought CMI 01A board where used in the Series II or IIX ... Regards. Laurent.

If someone can find that information for you I'll hire them as my detective. But that's what is so great about this forum. Anyone can inquire about anything that's fairlight related. I did own a failright that was used by ZZTop. The best thing is that I have the library as well.
