This means the Mantis happily transferred the message (I2CDONE) to the
MB86A16 and waited for the MB86A16 to ACK. The MB86A16 did not ACK.
(Slave RACK failed)

Something that i have seen while working on the MB86A16 and the STV0299
based devices, If someone writes junk to the MB86A16, it will just
freeze, similar to the STV0299. I guess most demodulators behave the
same. The STB0899 also exhibits similar properties.

Possibly looks like some bug with I2C probes ? Don't know for sure.

Cc added to Hans, since the list might be subscriber only.
