The only problem I had with the MBX was the lack of schematics (maybe
someone at Motorola actually has them, but I was not able to locate
that person).  If you're considering buying new boards, you might look
at the Embedded Planet boards.

Keep in mind that both of these boards, the MBX and Embedded Planet,
are production-ready boards, not evaluation cards.  Production ready

*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.

own.  They are not interested in selling one for you to copy :-).

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