I added a 6th V.90 card to 4000 at the beginning of this week.
It work very nicely for about 20 minutes before the main 5volt power
supply blew its guts.
We've had them blow before without overload them. We've had the
power supplies repaired and even had a unit nuked when the repaired
power supply blew again.
This time I bought a PC power supply and patched it into the unit.
Beautiful in an ugly way. Works nicely. Now to add the 6th card again.
