Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Adding a new page in the OS in order to upgrade the CMI IIx with HD facilities.........

Perhaps Eric ( http://www.rothfus.com/SVD/index.php ) could help out. He is a member of this list. I just send him an email and asked him. Also a friend of mine overhere in Europe, could perhaps help out, but sadly he's very busy with other things at the moment.
If you know people that could do the job, please contact them.
Other users that are interested in this upgrade: Please let your voice be heard and drop a mail to this group.
Anyone capable of helping out: Please let us know you are there........
Cheers,
Peter Kersten.

Great idea, but I'm not an electronics engineer... but a capable person
could design it with the specs and timing info of the various CMI
floppies, and of course a USB interface. It would probably fit inside
most CMIs, without mods.

I think the "black box" is the most feasible approach to CMI
connectivity. And, since it would work for all CMIs, it makes financial
sense for all of us to invest and hire an engineer or two.
