Humbly report, "2000 and Embedded Systems - Is the millennium a major problem?" computerbits.com Computer Bits Magazine by Jon Huntress Partial quote: "Businesses need to find all the applications that use chips and make sure they will continue to work. This is the heart of the problem with embedded systems and also the solution. Each business must decide what aspects of its operation are mission critical and make sure those are protected first. In other words, everyone needs to write a disaster recovery plan. While creating a disaster recovery plan, the embedded chip problem will be solved, and the business will also be prepared for any other year-2000 fallout. Most big businesses have a department dedicated to creating, maintaining and coordinating the plan with all the business units. A disaster recovery plan ensures that essential business functions will continue despite most conceivable disasters. This usually entails protection of revenue-producing parts of the business from fire, flood, earthquake and any other problem that would negatively impact the business. A disaster recovery plan backs up and protects the business's data, ensures continued production with minimal delay, makes sure the money keeps flowing in and the product keeps flowing out, and states the responsibilities of the company's key employees during a disaster."
