        Hi Steve,

        We used to do a lot of this, and yes complexity dictates all.

        The hard part nowadays is getting the engineering support for
        a re-package unless you can duplicate the tested function. It
        can become something of a reverse engineering exercise, as
        the rules and critical paths etc. that made the board work can
        become forgotten as a product matures, especially if the ori-
        ginal engineering team has moved on.

        Recertifying compliance (if any) can also be an obstacle.

        With that said, many product types can be converted "easily".

        Please do contact me off-line if you'd like us to look at it.

        Regards,
--
