2004-11-23 by brian_ronn
Hi everybody Will someone be able to tell me which hard drives the CMI III can use and how large the drives size limit is? I'll prefer any 3½ inch hard drive if possible. I'm on OS 6.03. why I ask this is because I want to connect an external hard drive to the CMI for backing up

Kyle, Congratulations on getting your IIx! I had the same exact questions about the library when I got mine. I, too, had the Pro-Rec cd and had gotten used to the sounds on it. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any kind of "definitive" list of Fairlight sounds published that I kno

He ended the auction because people were not willing to bid unless they had more shipping information. I think it's a bit much for everyone to expect an individual shipping quote, it'd be a lot easier if they did this themselves. He said he will re-list the Fairlight once he work
