Re: (ASCEND) More K56Cards failures...
The facility where mine failed was 60f-65f (there were occassions where the
A/C failed and the temp went up to 85 or so, but this happened maybe twice
(and we had fans, etc... to keep them cool). While I wouldn't dismiss the
heat factor altogether, I would also say that I have several pre 645xxxx
maxen that are still operational and are in less than best condition
elements. So, my theory is - maybe a batch of sub-standard materials during
production?? Just a guess.

I do agree that the new boxes are engineered better, though. I can tell
that through firmware upgrades... the newer maxen handle the binary upload
much much better than the older maxen. With the older maxen, you NEVER know
what your going to get.
