Hi all, In my search for improvements to store CMI data I think I hit the jackpot. I found a very nice and capable person that might have the solution for us. It will enable us to backup our disks with help of a modern PC and even more.......... More info will follow. Are there any CMI owners near Austin, TX? Also I would like to welcome a new member........ Cheers, Peter Kersten

Hi Peter, Couldn't we just hook up harddisks to the scsi port and save them ? otherwise use a scsi controller on a PC and hook up the disk to image them. Haven't tried any of these yet (no need) I'm in the Netherlands. Regards, Harald.

You can see and hear it in action in this video I uploaded to YouTube ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOP1IKdc4UI Cheers Chris

For other, if you listens well, for each keyboard command there has a little noise of the 8" floppy drive... > What is the HD used for ?

Hi guys, Just my 2 cents. As far as I'm aware the HD card of the series III seems to be hardware compatible with the IIx, but can only be controlled through OS9. I'm thinking about another route however. One which wouldn't involve hardware changes. It should be possible to create a small utility program to dump a IIx disk image over MIDI to a PC. It's not that much data anyway. The exorciser manuals have some explanation on how the disks are physically formatted. The only stuff I cannot find is how to control the MIDI interface from a QDOS prompt. Anybody got anything on that? Cheers, Patrick
