FORBES: Embedded trouble (Sept 21 '98 - Excerpt referencing TAVA) The "Year 2000 Chicken Littles" may just be right about one thing: special-purpose microprocessors. "In a large plant you have buckets of just two or three hundred lines of code, but they are in thousands of locations," explains John Jenkins, president of Tava Technologies, Inc., an information technology company in Englewood, Colo. "Factory systems are networked, so one component failure could well bring the whole operation down.
