I have a WP51D that is crashing at present (problem was posted on this =

I too would like to hear from the group any suggestions.=20

Subject: [foxboro] Lifecycle AW51D/E
Are there any owners of AW51 D & E boxes out there running 6.x?
We recently reviewed the Inv. Lifecycle report and found that the AW51 D =
& E=20
boxes are no longer available from jan 2007 on. Invensys advises to =
change=20
to G boxes and upgrade to version 7.0.
I hate to imagine what would happen if our host box (E) would fail=20
(motherboard or sun Proccessor) and we can't get a replacement within a=20
couple of days....
I probably can't convince management to replace and upgrade a perfectly =
good=20
system, only because of the end of lifetime issue....So we'll probably =
try=20
to obtain a spare E box.
I would be interested in knowing the strategies on this of the other I/A =
users.
