Fairlight-CMI

Hi all,

Thanks for all you assistance so far. Just thought Id report back :)

So : I got a replacement CMI32 card from the ever helpful Peter Wielk and great now when I boot, i can see all my channel cards, memory etc.

The system runs right the way though its boot-up sequence, but just as its about to start, the system exits to the command prompt with 

mptask handshake timeout : aborting process.

does anyone know where I could start looking next to get a bit further ? 

I looked on the KMI website, and it says that mptask controls all the realtime events in the CMI. (if Im understanding it right)

Also : when I boot up : the status display says that no sync card is present : what does this refer to, and is this part of my my problem ? 

Any hints or clues appreciated as normal :)

Best wishes : Arron
