Michael, you hit the point!

If have an 8 channel analog recording PC card with ADC and DAC from philips. Cinch cable adaptor to PC card has a ferrite choke almost as big as a coffee cup! It's hard to believe, that this is the result of a regular developement. More the act of desperation...

Andy, of course, requirements have also had to be fullfilled in the past, but didn't you observe, like me, that number of those ferrite chokes exploded since 1996, the year, when CE laws became valid?
