The current software version of Flying Faders is v3.1. We build new 486/33 PCs with 8 MB of RAM for new Flying Faders systems. Your HP computer is probably a Vectra - these were built surprisingly well, but they (and especially their hard drives) can't last forever.
If your hard drive works, I recommend that you reformat the hard drive and re-install the OS and Flying Faders from the floppy discs. If you can get a new hard drive, you may need to install an overlay program so the OS only sees a small part of the hard drive.
We are developing Flying Faders II. It is nearing BETA testing, so please keep an eye on our website for its official release. FFII will run under Vista, on any reasonable computer, and it uses a new USB Interface that replaces all of the proprietary ISA cards in the old computer - the HP Viper card, the Dual Port timecode interface, and the Neve Recall card. The rest of the console automation and servo-electronics system remains the same.
Neve 88Rs use Neve's Encore system, not FF.
