One of the probes is electrically noisy and untrustworthy when the 
machine is operating, the probe is only used during a calibration 
routine with most of the machine turned off.  But if EMC2 is no longer 
limited to only 4 digital outs, I have no problem using the mux 
component with a M64 line switching the mux between the two probes.

Thanks!  I can look through the docs to find out where the setting is.
