Update on my Monitor -- I got it working!!

Turns out you were right Jon, I should have been more careful with Bob
Robert's unsupported upgrade kit. Turns out the transistors included in the
kit for Q607/Q704 were the wrong type and were causing all the blown diodes
and fuses.

Bob clearly states that he does not support this kit in any way - no fault
on his part. He is just selling what people are asking for. I should have
been more careful.

Also got one of my Tempest boardsets working. One down two to go. Plus I
am still having the problem with the Black Widow board (missing text
vectors). Vector address decoders and buffer all check out - so I am moving
on from there. Ah, the projects.........................
