Fairlight-CMI

Thank you very much for that info, Peter.

I've sent you an email, as to whether you have a "kit" for this or something - I'm less interested in saving money, than I am in saving time.

If anyone else has any information on how to get the 9.34 software and ROMs, please let me know.

Thanks,
- Stephen

Once a system is upgraded to the "last" revision 9.34, very many SCSI devices of up to 4 Gbytes can be used as storage. One can then archive from streamer or 140 Mbyte hard disc onto 4 Gbyte hard drives, or even Compact Flash cards both of which cost only a few dollars each...
