*Host* Now that must be why the MBX860 fails every single
environmental and EMC test we throw at it...

Don't get me wrong. You are absolutely right that the MBX860
_should_ be production quality. It just ain't so. And yes, we do
have the schematics for the MBX860 under a NDA. This schematics
does explain a lot of the troubles... I am not impressed by any
standard. We have designed a inhouse replacement, but have yet
to prototype and debug it. To busy. But no, it is not a direct
replacement. I refuse to make the same mistakes all over again.
We hook up alot of external logic that we need to just work.

We have the schematics, I do not copy...
