Forgive the shameless plug, but these might help some-one out, and they're pretty reasonable: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231163656130?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 Regards, Peter

Hi Norm, as Joerg has pointed out, it's impossible to send a private message, but please contact me if you'd like some help fixing up your series IIX. I have all spare parts .. Regards, Peter at: horizontal_productions@hotmail.com

Norm, I can't see a reply from Peter yet - so please excuse me if I'm dropping in: They would like to put the instrument on display in London first, and then go on tour with the show for 5 years. They've allocated a first budget of about 2000 GBP. And (because of the tour part) a

Cool :-) Thanks JB, that's good news! There's no hurry here. Due to health problems I didn't even get to install your flash upgrade..... Also, I only need the USB adapter in order to spare the original hardware. Regards, Peter. ---------------------------------------------------

Hi Peter, Joe entrusted me (with permission) all the project "CMI Lightpen adapter" (source code, electronics diagrams and all the necessary) to make some new ones. But this new series will not be available before at least two months. Regards, JB Le 8 févr. 2014 à 19:20, Peter K.

Joe (Tama_rat): What is the current status on the USB Mouse -> CMI Lightpen adapter? Can I still get one? Post here from 26-5-2010: " I am planning on also doing a version for adapting USB keyboards to the I/II/IIx (and CVI), and for emulating the Series III keyboard and G-pad."

Hi Peter, My Series III will be up for sale. I am about to get it running, and then to sell, but if they want it as is, that is a possibility, depending on their budget. I am in the States, so there is shipping. I do have flight cases, libraries, etc. No music keyboard. Configura

Hi Roland, What Steve said did ring a bell. Setting up YD-180s is far easier, I think. Less cabling. Actually I think any 8" drive could be made to work. Also, certain 3.5" drives, and of course JB's magic gizmo as well. They all did IBM format in those days, 360RPM, single (FM)

I\u2019m willing to be corrected here as I\u2019m only a software dude J From memory the motors in the YD-174\u2019s are powered by 120v, and there was no option on the drives themselves to run them at 240v, so two were required to work with 240v. (in series) So, first you need t

Hi All. Several folk wrote to me about this MFX, however I advised against buying, as if one was after a disk recorder, the later MFX3+ was much better, and they seem to go for the same sort of money. The MFX3 used a lot of the cards that dated back to the series III (and even th

When I read the disks, I interpret the FF ones as deleted. But I suspect that it also could be the old name if it was renamed. However that's just a suspicion. Michael, most of the files are fixed sizes like CO and VC, so getting the size of those is not a problem. But some files

Thanks for the feedback. In "flfs", I decided to refer to files by an MFT index number (not by name as in cmios9) as shown in the "idx" column in the directory listing. You can even do "cd mft" to see all files on the disk at once, even those that have been deleted recently. Mich
