Very exciting. Details on the whole operation, please!:):)
Respectfully requesting specifics (experienced a wide variability of function in similarly rated CF's on an Electrix Repeater.
the same probably holds true of scsi CF interfaces, no?
Thanks in advance

Everything was done with rev 11.39+. 
you need an scsi to ide adapter ( I bought mine on ebay )
and a Compact Flash CF Type l/ll to 3.5" IDE Adapter Master / Slave 
Jumper Selectable and Bootable.
We had many difficulties formating the cf cards despite they were 
always recognized by the fairlight. I could only format my older 
340mb microdrive. So I copied the system on it and I made, with the 
help of my laptop and Winimage, an image drive that I simply recopied 
on an Danelec 1g card. And the fairlight perfectly booted from it. 
Same way for an 1gb microdrive that refused to format.

Next step is to try with a 4gb card, but I don' t have actually one.
