'Edupage is written by John Gehl & Suzanne Douglas' - on y2k in embedded software From: webconf.ncsa.com ------ ' Forum: General Discussions in Computer Security From: Mich Kabay (mich_kabay@compuserve.com) Topic: E: Y2K bugs in embedded microprocessors (1/1) Date: Friday, April 04, 1997 10:47 AM From EDUPAGE 97.03.30: EMBEDDED CHIPS SUFFER FROM YEAR 2000 PROBLEM, TOO It's not just aging mainframe computers that will go haywire when the clock strikes midnight on Dec. 31, 1999 -- the electronic devices we encounter in everyday life could have problems, too, according a letter drafted by three U.S. lawmakers responsible for overseeing public and private sector responses to the Year 2000 problem. "Critical systems that depend on automated devices include security systems for badge readers, surveillance and home security systems, parking lot gates, and vaults. Other products that rely on embedded computer microchips include telephone systems, video recorders, bar code readers, automatic teller machines, medical devices, factory machinery, civilian and military avionics, process control and monitoring equipment, sprinkler systems, and air-conditioning systems."
