Hello everyone. I know you're all aware of the Jane Child / Fairlight connection, but it was news to me, at least, to find "Welcome to the real world" on YouTube. This particular video features many shots that linger on her Series III, complete with auxillary keyboard. It's certa

Hello everyone, I'm a proud Fairlight CMI IIx owner since 50 days ago and loving every sec of it :) More details on my personal affair with the Fairlight before the end of the week. It turns out my Fairlight wasn't exactly "well preserved" when I acquired it and needed a bit of r

Hi Laurent I haven't forgot you regarding your question to who have formatted and installed the external Fujitsu M2263SA harddrive for my CMI III. I just haven't got a reply from the former owner yet. Best regards Brian Denmark Laurent LEMAIRE skrev: Hello Brian, I think I begin

Hi Brian, The maker you are referring to is the media descriptor byte, if the drive is not recognized as a windows / dos type disk, based on the media indicator, ghost would like to 'rectify' this for you. I recall it only does this if you want to make a file-by-file image. If yo

Hello Brian, I think I begin to understand... From KMI web site, the procedure is explained and it is specified that the HD has to be hard-formated with 256 bytes blocks. I looked at the Fujitsu M2263SA Specifications and it allow formatting with blocks from 180 bytes or bigger.
2008-03-09 by Brian Ronn
Hi Laurent I'm not sure where the Fujitsu drive came from or who did the format. A couple of years ago I bought additional Fujitsu M2263SA drives from Ebay but since the CMI III rev. 6.03 do not have the format utility for HD's (at least my CMI III doesn't), I haven't been able t
2008-03-09 by Brian Ronn
Hi Harald Thank you for your advice. I do have Ghost, but I haven't tried copying via Norton Ghost as I was told that Ghost needs to recognize the drive as a windows drive and that Ghost writes some kind of flag on the drive to indicate that the drive has been ghostet. Therefore

Hi Brian, Did you try a program called Ghost ? You can do a sector copy with that one, and store it on a PC if needed. Regards, Harald On Sun, 9 Mar 2008 13:43:04 +0100 (CET), you wrote: >Hi Laurent > > I do use an external SCSI HD with my CMI III rev. 6.03. > > The first externa

Hello Brian, Could you tell us where the Fujitsu come from ? Do you know who did format it at the origin ? Best regards. Laurent.

Hi Laurent I do use an external SCSI HD with my CMI III rev. 6.03. The first external SCSI case include a MFM to SCSI card plus a Maxtor model XT-2190 seriel 2 MFM harddrive with 190 Mb capacity. The second casing has a Fujitsu M2263SA SCSI harddrive with 680 Mb capacity. I've tr

I would be interested to know if some of you use SCSI HD with rev 6.03 series 3 ? On mine, I only use Maxtor XT2190 MFM HDs, and I would like to know if more modern HD are compatible ? Thanks in advance for your help. Laurent.
2008-03-09 by Brian Ronn
Hi Harald It would really be a blessing for me if the card is also bootable on my rev. 6.03 machine. All my worries and struggle cloning my existing MFM and SCSI drives would go out the window. This would almost be to good :-) Best regards Brian Denmark Harald Feldmann skrev: And

Hi Brian, I'm not so sure. Probably not with the high capacities. I have a rev 6 machine and a JAZZ drive, I should hook them up and see whether it works. That may take a little while though, I'm busy and the unit is outside the studio. But basically, if you have anything else wi

Hi Harald I assume that if this works for the CMI III it will be for those machines with rev. 9.34 and higher. I couldn't imagine this would work with a rev. 6.03 machine, right? Best regards Brian Denmark Harald Feldmann skrev: Looks promising to me... Haven't tried yet. > This

What also might work is an internal CF card with a SCSI to IDE converter. There was recently talk about it on the EIII forum. Instructions for installing one (in an EIII) can be found at here: http://eiiiforum.com/index.php?topic=4.0 Just scroll down to the post by Escobar. David

That's great, the photo's confirm the eproms for me..I see there are new images up today with checksums, I'll check them against mine. Well, you know what cards are bad, that's a great place to work from. I don't have the luxury of a system to check cards in...any user in London

Good news about that wire, I think. On mine, the same chip, 74LS14, that pin is unused: not connected to a trace in any way. I was going to suggest using an ohmmeter to see if maybe whomever put that there was trying to just bridge a short but when I looked that pin is unused. Yo

Hello David, MMe in my Q133 I use of the 2716 (because I have some much in advance)... Normally both type of memory 2716 and 27C16 are compatible pin has pin... see : http://www.datasheetcatalog.net/datasheets_pdf/2/7/C/1/27C16.shtml and http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets
2008-02-21 by Tristan Upton
Hi David, In general you should be able to replace a 2716 with a 27C16. It does depend somewhat on the circuits and bus configuration as the logic thresholds, access time and fanout might be a little different in the CMOS EPROM. It is likely the CMOS part will draw less current t
2008-02-21 by dvdborn
I've almost finished restoring a Fairlight CPU Card for the Series IIx. The only thing that still needs to happen is burning the EPROMS. I've got an EPROM burner but it doesn't support 2716 or 2516 type EPROMS, only 27C16. The service manual says that a 2716 or 2516 eprom needs t
2008-02-13 by Tomás
This CD gives each library sound twice, one in a low register and one in a high register. The trick I think is to use only the low one. Playing it on an ESI4000, you get the sound of a Fairlight that's been enhanced with processing, and with some of the transposing magic built in
