MFX3+ to CMI III

2011-03-01 by horiprod

This is a response to Tony's question about "downgrading" an MFX3+

Regarding the conversion, I'd say it wouldn't be worth it, especially since it's an MFX3+ There virtually are no cards which are common to the series III except for the colour graphics card, and possibly the Turbo-SCSI. The MFX3 (non-plus) had some of the old cards, but even then, you'd have to find 8 channel cards, waveform RAM, output modules, router, sampler, and probably have to build an analogue power supply. Far better to look out for an old series III on ebay. Even non-working, they can be fixed up and upgraded..

Hope this helps,

regards,
