I've used Soekris products for many years and used to have enormous faith in them. I've only got two 6501-70s left in production and will be phasing them out shortly. The one 5501-70 is happily running along but no longer has the needed RAM and CPU to get the job done. I only deployed a

Re: [Soekris] net6501: doesn't start if not first unplugged for 8minutes

On the other side of this coin (which I completely agree with, BTW) I have many net-4801 units running flawlessly and haven't been rebooted in many years. I anticipate they will last another 5 years unless the throughput begins to exceed their capacity. All of my 6501-70's have been replaced by

Mostly folks stay on this list to discuss alternatives. I suspect some may have held out some hope for a bios workaround. I guess I'm kind of disappointed that Soekris hasn't been more transparent as I suspect they know exactly what's up with these boards. I notice the full complement of these

Re: [Soekris] net6501: doesn't start if not first unplugged for 8 minutes

A single data point, but I would suggest yes. I had a unit purchased 2/12 go bad and replaced in 10/14. Starting this year (say 1/17) the replacement started showing the same symptoms of unable to reboot without a power cycle. Several queries to Soekris got nothing back from the tech folks.

(Every time this thread pops up again, I knock on wood since my net6501-50s (with both heatsink revisions) have been bulletproof...) WRT the net6801, sounds like it was probably a confluence of issues, mostly market-related. Intel C2000 problems aside, Asian ODMs are making viable inexpensive
