     I personally don't like using an external diode - not as long as
BU406D's are still available.
     I think Zonn might have said something before about an external diode on
a BU406 affecting the resonance of the MCI a while ago?? I don't know if I'd
want to risk my MCI or anything else on the board if BU406D's are still
available.
