Steve,
The map you speak of is referred to as a "Schematic Diagram" of the main 
circuit board.

All companies highly guard their "schematics" and only let specific employees 
gain access to them because should they fall into the wrong hands, one could 
then have the circuits reverse engineered, patents could be busted, competitors 
could manufacture more boards and ultimately the company would lose money.  
Before getting into embroidery, I used to manage and run a large circuit board 
manufacturing plant for 10 years.

Melco is able to charge what they charge due to supply and demand and so they 
will.  We as customers of Melco, and all other machine companies, must realize 
that circuit board failure is a potential reality and simply prepare in 
advance, financially, for such an occasion.

Should a board fail within the first two years in a new machine, Melco usually 
covers that under warranty but after that, one must take their own provisions 
such as putting $50-$100 bucks aside each month per head.
