Looks like I am going to be taking a perfectly good Series II and parting it out. I'd like to get expressions of interest to see what kinds of parts people are looking for. I'd give priority to people who wanted more complete items. For example, someone who wanted the whole alpha

Hi , I have never seen this page before either. Looking at the photo the monitor is from a series 1. So this was probably taken in 1979 or 1980. These monitors have the old Fairlight logo. I would presume that this control page was well before Rev 11 software which was the last v

Hi Fabio. This was a very, very early version of what would become Page 7, the control parameters page. Although a matrix style patch looked good, in reality only options that made real sense were eventually implemented... Hope this is helpful, Peter Wielk Horizontal Productions

Haven't done this with a Fairlight, but this is the way I did it with the Ensoniq EPS and Roland S-330: Get this software http://hxc2001.free.fr/floppy_drive_emulator/index.html#SoftwareFloppyemulator Drag and drop the IMD file on the program then click export. You get a HFE file

I've got a HxC and a 50 to 34 pin cable adaptor made, and some Fairlight .IMD disk images. Could someone lay out the steps needed to get the IMD files into a form that the HxC can use for the Fairlight? I assume it's like with use on the Emulator II where there is a disk overlay
2013-04-29 by Joe Sleator
Using .IMD files with CMIOS9, IIRC you need to use the command-line (imdu?) utility to convert the compressed IMD files to straight binary images. IMD files are sort-of run-length compressed IIRC. You need sequential-sector binary. You can then mount the binary images as QDOS dis

The .IMD files need to b converted into a form that CMIOS9 can read. Try this to convert the .IMD files for use with CMIOS - 1. place the .IMD files in the same directory as ImageDisk 1.18. 2. Use the following command to convert the .IMD files to .BIN files: imdu FILENAME.IMD /B

Hi Carl, I'm using some custom software I wrote to do it - it's not simple though (IMD ver1.11 fully supported but the later ver1.17 still has some problems). In essence each imd file is compressed: - You need to uncompress it into raw binary (you can actually see the 8bit voice
