Here is a link to the forum where the Fairlight and HxC combo is discussed. Last entry is from JB, who is on this list too. Hi JB :-) Link: http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?t=118 JB is/was testing it. He seems to be very busy with other things, which is a pitty. :-( T

Hi Fredric, I think it's possible you've got 3 bad system disks. Although 8" floppies are fairly rugged, and seem to survive much longer than either 3.5" or 5.25", you could damage them in a CMI simply by switching the machine off or on with media in and the drive closed. Modern
2010-02-11 by synthserver
Last time I asked, I was told that a Fairlight could read from it, but writing was not possible (yet). It should also be adapted. My wish: When the 8" floppy has no floppy in it (there is a signal that indicates this situation) the CF card should be accessed. There should be a se

Hi, I recently moved my CMI IIx from my former college to my home. It hasn't been used in probably two years. When I try to boot it up, it merely says "Cannot load CMI.SY." I have 3 system disks: An original from 1985, one that I got from Virtual Music in 2005, and a back-up. Usi

Dear David, Can you please give some more detail to facilitate people helping you. I'm on the same side of the globe as Peter Wielk, so I can't pop around to have a look. What lights, if any, come on? How far does the machine get in starting up? What is displayed on the screen? W

Hi David, Does your CMI Series 3 has got the 8" floppy drive ? Do you have the installation floppy discs ? Best regards. Laurent. On 10 févr. 10, at 11:28, David wrote: > Anyone got any ideas on this? > My Series III won't boot. I'm technically pretty useless so am a bit > stuck.

Anyone got any ideas on this? My Series III won't boot. I'm technically pretty useless so am a bit stuck. It is 9.34 and may just need a fresh installation of the OS or might need work. It was upgraded by Peter Wielk but as he is on the other side of the planet, I need to find so

Hi All. I can also confirm the ultra-cheap SCSI-IDE bridge and CF card reader works a treat with 4Gbyte cards, looking EXACTLY like a hard disc, and bootable. My friend and some-times partner-in-crime Joe Sleator made an image of a hard drive on his PC, and transferred this to th

Hello, has anyone had success trying to use a CF card with a SCSI-IDE-bridge? Given the fact that suitable SCSI hard drives are getting increasingly difficult to find this sounds like a good idea, at least in theory. I tried to use one on my MFX/2 without much success. The card i

Ok, done a bit of reading. The Sync Out and Clock Out works by recieveing a clock signal from the 3-pole DIN. Sync Out 4 should be connected to the CMI Mainframe Sync input XLR ( pin 2 ). Now the external clock will drive the CMI and the 68A40´s will divide the incoming clock and

A.f.a.i.k, the Syco Conductor evolved into the General Interface Card. That´s why I´m a bit surprised that I´m not getting any response on the Sync Out and Clock Out din-connectors on the IIx. I could be worng but I´m almost certain that I´ve read about the Syco on S.O:S website.
2010-01-12 by Tim Curtis
This all reminds me. Does anyone out there have any info on the Syco Conductor card? I've got one of the cards but no interface box to use with it. I could probably reverse engineer it if I could get a little info on what the features were. It would be nice to know what this thin

Glad that you got it to work. As for the SMPTE sync, that was never implemented at all. IIRC, it will trigger off SMPTE, but then it just free runs. I think that they were planning on implementing it in a later revision, but them they decided to build the Series III instead. -T O

Hi Tim ( and everybody else ), I can happily report that my IIx is now in sync with the rest of the world. Indeed, one uses the Sync-connector on the mainframe. It has dual functions, Sync In on Pin 2, Metronome Click Out on Pin 3, with a common ground on Pin 1. One must apply 38

2010-01-12 by tomulcahy
The short answer is- it depends! The long answer is- it will sound the same, as long as you're happy with playback only. The IIx has some very nifty modulation functions, as you can hear on the dvdborn blog. dvdborn also has a multisample of Sararr on his blog, from a IIx, with f
