Fairlight-CMI

Bonjour Peter ! 

I bet Paris is lovely :) Good to hear from you again :)

Ive just managed to fix it : there is a small 1A fuse on the CG3 card : it had blown. I desoldered another similar fuse out of a old commodore circuit board, and hey presto, monitor is working again. Great advice though, and thanks for the reply :)

Now the video is working, a can see that the system is for some reason not seeing the CMI 31 cards, or the the sync card.

Im pretty sure this will just be the usual case of swapping the card order around and making sure that everything is seated properly.

Will let you all know progress :)
