Hi Rob, Good to hear from you. I would be very interested to see if you can boot from the Compact Flash card. I see that they make 4 gig compact flash cards now. Would you mind emailing me the latest version of CMI explorer ? I am buying Virtual PC today for the Mac and would lik

Hi James, I haven't tried booting from the card since I'm rather averse to opening up the mainframe unless it absolutely needs it :-). I'd bet the speed of the CF card makes a difference; I just tried a plain Lexar 32MB and the speed was OK, about what I'd expect from an older SC

In spite of running the risk of being flogged some more over my reserve price, I wanted to notify anyone interested that my auction will also include the following original Fairlight manuals (along with the original User Manual): Series IIx Manual Supplement - February 1985 Music

Hi Rob, Good to hear from you. Have you actually managed to boot your CMI from the compact flash card ? How fast does the CMI seem to run ? Is it noticably slower when changing pages etc while operating from Compact Flash ? Which SCSI >> IDE convertor do you use ? It would be nic

I successfully used a compact flash memory card with my rev9 CMI using a SCSI to IDE converter plugged into one of these http://www.acscontrol.com/Index_ACS.asp? Page=/Pages/Products/CompactFlash/IDE_To_CF_Adapter.htm. Very quiet :-). I could then take the CF card and plug it int

I have recently been offered a Fairlight CMI IIx, but I had just found another unit. I would like to put the seller in touch with a buyer who can give this unit a good home. I have not seen the unit in person, but I have seen pictures and it looks like it is in excellent conditio

H Guys, I was thinking that you could use the quiet 4200 rpm 2.5" drives with the CMI. Now these drives with a WFM-32 RAM card and maybe I would only need three fans running ! Regards, James Thomson Magic Audio Co. The Studio West Hampstead London NW2 3RJ U.K. On 31/10/04 8:54 am

Bonjour Jean-Bernard, Merci bien ! There is no reason why you couldn't use 2.5" IDE notebook drives now with a Fairlight CMI rev9.34 - 11+ instruments. The 2.5" IDE - SCSI 2 adaptor looks really good. The connectors inside the CMI use 50 pin, so this should connect without any pr

What is involved in adding MIDI to a IIx if the original owner didn't select that option and the unit was never upgraded. From what I gather, it requires a CMI-28 card. But I also read in the service manual that there is a box containing a CMI-29 that gets bolted to the back of t

While I'm at it (lloking for a IIx, that is), I was reading various threads and forums (primarily Greg Holmes's page), and I saw bits and pieces of Peter Wielk's attempts to mdoernize the IIx by adding the ability to use harddrives, 3.5" floppy drives, flat panel monitors (retain
2004-10-30 by daniel_iix
No offense taken. I based my opening price on the only two recent sales I've seen in the US. A dead IIx sold for over $3000.00 about 6 or so months ago (it was discussed a bit on this forum). The last working IIx sold on eBay for just under $6000.00 not more than a few months ago

No offense to the chap selling this fine instrument, but as I will soon be looking to purchase one, I must inquire. Is this price - 3750 british pounds (currently $US6400) - a realistic one? From what I gather on here and other sites, IIx's seem to be going in the $3K range if th

Hi James, The 3x8 inline connector is for the SCSI terminator resistor packs. With Rev2 wavesuper cards (CMI-41), the 4MB RAM bank is already on-board (RAM chips with "ZIP" package, Rev1 chips are different). Best regards, Michael --- In Fairlight-CMI@yahoogroups.com, James Thoms

Hi Mate, If you don't mind, I'll see if I get much response from my ad before I make a decision on letting it go for this price. Basically, I am really reluctant to let this underated beast go, but I just aint got the space for it at the moment. It's lying redundant in my spare r

Hi again, I have had a good look at the card and it seems as if I do have CMI-41 2.4. For some reason it has been labelled as Rev 2.6 on the bag and on the pullout handles. In front of the 50 pin connector is a 24 pin inline slot. This is arranged as 3 rows with 8 female pins in

You're right. Using the TurboSCSI card requires major backplane and wavesuper mods (if you have Rev1). (However, you can run Rev11 software without the TurboSCSI option, as long as you can live with a limited number of simultaneous MDR tracks.) In any case, a Rev1 wavesuper needs

there are also hardware mod change notices to be performed on the WaveSuper in order to support Rev 11.34 specs and usage with the TurboSCSI card. there are also two revisions of the WaveSuper board. I'm not sure of Rev 1 WaveSuper's can be upgraded from 1M to 4M Private RAM. Yup
