Y2K CZAR ON SERIOUSNESS OF EMBEDDED CHIP PROBLEM =========================================================== CNN July 18 '98 KOSKINEN: " ...what I fondly refer to as "the growth industry of the problem": embedded chips or integrated circuits that run things like missiles, as well as oil refineries and power plants. O'BRIEN: And that's -- that makes it a very staggering problem when you get into those embedded chips. Give people an idea of how difficult it is to change all of those embedded chips so they are Y2K compliant. KOSKINEN: Well, the good news about the chips is that the experts estimate that only 1 or 2 percent of the chips are involved in processes that are date-sensitive.
