I might not be the most impartial respondent you could get because I work at Ardent, but here's the party line: our MTBF is 14 months. A paper to be given at Compcon 89 describes the design methodology used to build and verify the Titan. To summarize a bit, we followed what is called the Hewlett-Packard "Test-and-Fix" philosophy and strife testing was done at 8 corners of temperature, voltage, and frequency. Hope this helps. I'm only the Pubs manager here, but if you want more information, let me know and I'll put you in touch with those who know. -- /Paul Ausick Ardent Computer Corporation 880 West Maude Ave. uucp: uunet!ardent!paul Sunnyvale, CA 94086 408/732-0400
