Get me a IIx and a manual, and I'll see what I can do ;-)

Seriously - if you can convince the Fairlight to spit data over the
parallel connection then you can hook it up to some sort of interface.
Possibly one of the FTDI interfaces that presents an 8-bit parallel port
and appears to be a generic serial port?  Maybe you could use a
microcontroller board like an Arduino to offload some of the data
mangling and buffering.
