Hi Norm. Q-256 cards are getting a little thin on the ground... If you can find a Q-356 card (1Mb) from a series III, that'll work fine too... The schematics are in the public domain, and there's nothing special about either card that a good tech couldn't fix. If you get stuck I

Dear All, Looking at a IIx with a faulty 256 memory card. Parity error LED stays on and system doesn't boot. Is this a common or known fault. If it can't be fixed are there any spare 256 memory cards available from anywhere? Regards, Norm

Hi Guys. The batteries I use to replace those on expired Q-133 cards are from RS Components - see: http://australia.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=1855643 I use the smallest ones 1/3AAA. They're not the same physically, but since they're wire

Does does anyone have a detailed intuitive (for a lay person that really would like to put new parts in but the very right ones) complete "parts list" for the Q133-R6-CR? or the whole series of revs? (found the schematics a little vague on details, the parts labels in some cases

Hey Malte, it's a Tadiran lithium inorganic battery 1/6th "D" size, 3.6V 1700mah, part number TL-5135/P (if no "P or "LP" might not be the version with pins on the bottom, please double check even off these links I sent before ordering, okay?) , get that thing off your pc board b

Hello everyone; I assume the battery on the Q133 stores the date and time settings in the Series III. Since my machine has started "forget" those settings each time it is powered down I guess it's time to change the battery. However this seems to be a sort of sepcial 3.6V lithium

Hi Malte Here is a link: http://store.batteryspecialists.com/tl5135.html The exact type is: TL-5135 I did a search on google for battery TL-5135. It's okay to remove the battery without putting in a new one. Only date and time will not be correct, but the CMI will work just fine.

Hi James, I used to run an NEC Multi-Sync 15 inch which worked fine on my MFX. I heard of incompatibility even with these on the larger screen sizes though. Peter Weilk would know for sure, he was involved in a lot of troubleshooting on the MFX 2 as I'm sure you know. Cheers Tony

I think the production of the Fairlight CMI 30A is a step in the right direction. $17,000 maybe steep for the majority of us, but the Fairlight CMI 30A is marketed towards the nostalgia collectors, and the cashed up elite musos such as Peter Gabriel, Nick Rhodes, Thomas Dolby, Ka

Yes, this is definitly strange. Further , my Series III / Mfx2 has sample & hold cards on every DA converters. If I remind well, Fairlight announced 100 db for the dynamic. Thats nearly 17 bit. And the sound had more punch compared to my old rev6. Perhaps the 14 bit was the dynam

Hi everyone, At $17K for me its not going to happen, if it had been closer to $10K, that would have been closer to what I expected from Peters original estimate. I really hope the interest/sales are generated and that the 30A is a success but I do agree with some of the others on

If the features, sound and quality really warrants the price tag, then fine. However at 17k I would need a rather convincing demo and sales pitch, where as at 5k I would buy it on the mere word of the product. Tobias On 18 aug 2009, at 16.24, bty496052 wrote: The writer of the po
