Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Re: looking for S3 rev 5.4 boot disk on floppy

At this rate Rev 5 machines will likely become very rare indeed, and may even become more valuable than Rev 9 machines.

It's generally possible to make binary images of any 8" CMI diskette here. Each is about 1MB. Takes about 5 minutes. Others can also do this I think.

After that they can be sent anywhere, and dropped onto any 8" floppy locally, or the floppies themselves mailed without risk of loss.

Cheers,
Joe

Hi David,

thanks for offer of the disks, I've actually decided to send it to P. Weilk and have it revised to Rev 9, I've removed the media components and they are now on ebay, including floppy, hd, adaptec scsi controller, 14mb ram, vdu, qwerty etc, Im also just about to list a full set of series 3 f/cases and master processor card.
