Hi Laurent. First you need to find a Hitachi 380 Mbyte ESDI hard disc. Then you need to find the special adaptec controller for this card. Then you need to format the disc from the routines on the Fairlight hard disc formatter, on floppy. Then away you go! Regards, Peter Wielk, Sydney.

I'm afraid I don't have any further information about the old style Hitachi hard discs as I gave all of these and controller cards to Colin Ross before I left London. You'll also find that the discs are next to impossible to find, which is one of the (many) reasons I don't get involved in the earlier rev 6 machines any more. Upgraded rev 9 machines can format and access virtually any hard drive up to 4 Gbyes, are lightning fast, AND SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME as before. There are a huge number of other improvements and new features too, read about them on my website at www.horizontal.co.uk I know that no- one on these pages wants to spend money getting their old machines upgraded, but I may be able to offer a solution: I could sell an upgrade kit of waveform supervisor card, formatted 4 Gbyte hard disc full of excellent sound libraries and the revision 9 software, new manuals, full instructions and all the loose components for about GBP 1,000. However, you would have to get a very good technician to do this, and you still might have timing problems with old 2 Mbyte RAM cards. There are no problems with 4, 8 or 32 Mbyte cards.. I could even include a colour graphics card (so you can use a sexy flat LCD screen) for an extra GBP 500.. Hope this is helpful, regards, Peter Wielk
