10/23/2011 - I started imaging all of the floppies that came with the Series II I bought last year. There are a LOT of them. I'll keep adding to this directory as I image them:

CMI Floppy Images - Jeff's Disks

Big thanks to Steve Rance for providing this space for Fairlight CMI info and disk images!

Hey, I designed some t-shirts with the old Fairlight logo! If you want one, they are available here.

And this is a scan of an old notebook I received from a former Fairlight engineer, Guy Dunphy.

It includes a lot of great stuff on the internals of the CMI software!

Here are ImageDisk images of all of my IIx and III floppies. There are also zipfiles containing all of each collection, in case you want everything.
