It s really a shame that Fairlight company cuted all contact with its old products. I bought a IIx, 2 series3 and one MFX2, I was about to buy a MFX3, but I realised they just wanted my money as they never helped me with my previous models...this day they lost a client. They don'

Although technically inept and unable to provide intellectual capital for a project like this, I would be happy to help underwrite the financial cost as well. I would love a modern storage system for the CMI IIx. --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, James Thomson wrote: > > Hi,

Hi, I have bought quite a few brand new 8" floppy disks recently which will not format. There is nothing wrong with my drives its simply that the floppy disks themselves are flawed. This is very worrying for all CMI 2X users as even with new disks we are not guaranteed that they

Hello Peter, This would be so great if you could sort this out. If Fairlight was ok to let us freely distribute obsolete documentation, the debate would be closed. Many thanks for your help and support Peter ! Best regards. Laurent. On 26 nov. 05, at 21:54, Peter Vogel wrote: > >

Hi, In a book I have called " The Musician and the Micro " it says that Bob Moog is designing a " super sensitive " keyboard to interface with the Fairlight CMI. There is a photo of Bob Moog with a CMI series 2. Does anyone know whether this product ever became reality ? Regards,

Mr. Peters, have you heard about a little thing called PROZAC? I'm asking because... You apparently try to desperately get our attention, you were doing that on old board you are doing that now. Sorry to say: this isn't normal. You are in need of a treatment. That's all I wanted

Hi, To be fair, I think Simon is over reacting about the Fairlight manuals. If JB is going to take the time to transfer all documentation to pdf files then its fair enough to pay him a small fee on top of the CD and postage costs. Why should he invest all this time for free? I am

The cards a very different. You are correct that the Q077 is for ST506 standard drives; and Q777 is for SCSI. The cards have their own drivers in the EPROM on the card. Don't get too excited about the Q777 SCSI card, it is SCSI1 standard and many SCSI drives do not work with it -

Hopefully this will help: Device IDs Fundamental to the way a disk is referenced is the SCSI ID that it (the device) uses. Your boot Disk will have SCSI ID 0. Other hard disks can be assigned to SCSI ID's 2 and 4 and 6. The Internal Tape drive used SCSI ID 1, with the WORM drive

Hi, I was wondering what the difference is between a Q-077 card and a Q-777 card ? Has anyone studied the schematics of both cards ? It seems that early series 3 systems used a Q-777 with a SCSI - ST 506 controller card and a ST-506 hard disk. This makes me think, is there much o
