It was a nightmare for technical support as well.  ANY panel by any RADX
dealer would be warranty replaced for about five years after the problem was
diagnosed.  Didn't make it easier for the dealers, though.

Did you know the D9112 was just going to be a bigger version of the D7112
until the product manager decided to go on the road, get dealer feedback,
and implement the suggestions?  It slowed the release of the D9112B, but
resulted in a much better designed product that is still successful.

The original D9112 prototype had a seven digit point code instead of the
much more flexible point indexes (which had their own potential for
confusion, but were IMO a much better approach than pseudo-binary
optioning).
