I'm not an expert, nor am I an engineer. Suggest you go here and pose your question: Society for Information Management Free, immediate registration. year2000.unt.edu This is where engineers, consultants, etc. discuss specific issues. Dave Hall monitors the embedded system section. He's the one who wrote about the fire engine problem. Go to "Transportation." Dave's a well-known expert on these issues. He's frequently quoted in various trade publications. The reason I made my post, was that if Dave considered this a potential problem ... it was worth checking out further. When push comes to shove, any microprocessor has the potential for a problem. Granted, it's a small percentage. But, when it comes to emergency vehicles ... you want to be sure there won't be a problem. I started a "Y2K Embedded System" thread earlier this year. I had a link to documented Y2K failures with 30% (+/-) fire trucks purchased in Texas since 1985. If you want to go back on that thread (it's somewhere in the 1st 200 posts) ... you might want to check that out and track down that source. Subject 18990 Cheryl
