Dear Steve, Thanks for the tip. I removed the cards 3/4 & 5/6, and the beasty is working again on full trusters - must have just been a loose connection somewhere. If you could keep your eye open for me mate for a full functional Series III Keyboard that I can plug into my MFX2.

Don't take the thumb screws all the way out, just screw them back in about 2 or 3 turns and them use them as grips to pull the card out. Only screw them all the way in once your fault finding is over. [Steve] SteveRance From: Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Fairlight-CMI@ya

Hello All You Happy Fairlight Users Out There, First of all a big thankyou to Klaus (Danke)for the UPS tip after my main fuse blew. The beasty is happy again and humming away as ever. Due to the power surge that I had I think it may have cause a problem with one of the eight chan

Hi Michael, Try putting a surge protector between the unit and the mains, or a UPS. I have had this recently with another synth while powering it on via a switchbox. I generally use surge protectors between any valuable eectronics and the mains, but not that time. There may be a

Hello All, Had a problem this morning when powering up my MFX2. The mains power fuse blew. Replaced fuse with new 240V 3 Amp fuse and it blew again. Checked the mains power from the socket - everything is fine there. Does anyone have an idear to what is going on. Thanks Michael

I had a request for information on where I purchased my replacement tube, so here it is: I bought it from VDC (Video Display Corporation) in Tucker, GA, USA. Their phone # is 770-938-2080, and their website is at: http://www.videodisplay.com/ I called them and asked if they had a
2009-02-24 by Steve Rance
Was it supported by both QDOS and OS9? Yes, the TVT card (as we called it) was mapped into processor 1's address space. With the jumpers in the default position the 1st screen was mapped in at 0xD000 and the 2nd screen was mapped at 0xD800. It's been 15-20 years, so those address

My IIx had developed the all-too-common screen rot, so I recently replaced the tube. I found a compatible NOS replacement for ~$100 (it lacks the front plate/shield that the original had), and spent a few hours swapping it in. Pics are posted in the Photos section. If you haven't

Hi Steve, Thanks for the feedback on the Q050. Was it supported by both QDOS and OS9? By any chance, did you work on the Series IIL? From the Series II(x) service manual, I would guess that it used the Q077 with a Western Digital 1002 to interface with an MFM drive. I'd like to k
2009-02-23 by Steve Rance
A Q050! I have a few. This card pre-dated the bit map graphics cards and could display 80x25 character cells. They were never a end user board for users of the CMI and early MFX systems but were extensively used by R&D for high speed debugging. [Steve] From: Fairlight-CMI@yahoogr

Anyone know if these exist? Any repair stories to share? Mine has a problem booting. Probably not a big deal to figure out, but I wouldn't mind some documentation. BTW, I have the user manual, which I will post as soon as I have scanned it. Thanks everyone

A IIx can do stuff like additive synthesis, drawing 32 stage envelopes for each of all the individual harmonics, realtime manipulating loop en some more very neat stuff...... What can a series III do (besides sampling)? (I can't find much info about this strangely enough.) Cheers
