Hi, netters...

Our Unisys 6000/70 (Sequent S27) has been getting some correctible single-bit
memory errors for the past few days.

When we asked our Unisys Project Manager (on-site Unisys non-tecchie-type)
how many single-bit errors are acceptable over a given period of time, his
reply was "lots".

I don't buy that.  Anyone out there got any better ideas?

Ignorant minds want to know...
