Erm, I suspect this is mine :-)  I bought a Polyfusion modular from
Chris last week and he's advertising a few bits and pieces of mine
that I don't need any more (I offered them for p/x but they didn't
want to buy a CMI in) - I plan on posting the details of the CMI II
and CMI III I have for sale later - but if anyone is interested, feel
free to drop me a mail off list.

Briefly there's a good condition and fully working CMI II with black
keyboard and a very good condition CMI III with tape drive with 16Mb
and 9.14 (ISTR), hard drive and floppy - five tapes included. Buyer is
welcome to have their choice of copies of 10 of my CMI II disc library
of around 150 discs (including the original Fairlight CMI II library)
in the detail - if you want more discs then provided you're prepared
to buy the floppies and spend the time copying them here - you're
welcome to copy the lot :-)

YES!  How cool that someone else remembers these :-)  I was given a CD
by a friend of mine (I'll email him to find out where he got it and
post it back here) produced by someone with *all* of the tapes on -
great listening - it took me back 20 years to when I would sit on the
top deck of the No. 47 bus to work, listening to these tapes on my
Walkman, dreaming I could actually afford a subscription to the
magazine - let alone any of the gear they featured! :-D  

The crappy adverts for the 'London Rock Shop' (or should that be
'Rondon Rock shop'!) have to be heard to be believed! hehe
