Hi Stephen. You're in luck - you already have the wavesuper hardware upgrade. All you need is a new Fairlight formatted 4Gbyte hard disc with the 9.34 software, and a new set of ROMs... Having backed up all your files, I would then personally remove all the old SCSI drives.. They

What is stopping me is I actually have a series IIx, not a III. I already have put a SCSI-IDE-CF-card in my EIII-rack and love it very much. I'm sure it would work for a series III too, so I guess, my help call is just for a CMI IIx.. Thanks for the replies by the way . Regards,

Hi Peter There is a solution to the problem of future-proofing old series III files on old (revision 5) machines, however it requires a relatively extensive hardware upgrade. Once a system is upgraded to the "last" revision 9.34, very many SCSI devices of up to 4 Gbytes can be us
