Anyone out the familiar with Yamaha digital snakes? I was using one recently with an M7CL and had an indicated problem which I did not understand. Every so often a warning came up saying "Connection with head amps lost". The desk seemed to be OK and there was no loss of signal (although I was not using phantom at the time) but if I looked at the head amp page under 'Racks' the little red 48v indicators had greyed out. Then warning would go off and all would be well again. The snake was set up in redundant mode, so I doubt it was the cable. Any thoughts?

I have had a chat with Nick Pemberton from Yamaha UK and it turns out that the little 9 pin link cable between the two cards was the problem. There was nothing wrong with the snake itself or the cards or the stage box. It was just this link cable not sending data from one card to the other consistently, thus indicating a fault where was none. Now I know......
