I had read something a long time ago about the effects of the Santa Anna winds on electro-static discharge. Does anyone know where I might be able to find information on this? Thanks, Nikki

Do a search here for SMEMA standards, I had problems a while back and had to swap some wires on an OEM's machine to get it to interface correctly to our equipment. Probably not the same problem as your having but I did write a long winded explinatio
