It is so far known that at least computer manufacturers as IBM, Borroughs, and ICL
all utilizes error correcting memories and it is felt certain that a further investigations
will prove that all major computer manufacturers employ this tehnique where reliability
is considered important.
Borroughs, for example, considered it a significant draw-back for the NEC-CCIS proposal,
in which a CR 80 D computer should be integrated as a front-end processor, that we
did not have error corretion.

Development of a new memory module can be roughly estimated to cost one man-year
plus production expencies, all together in the range of 1 Mill. Dkr. This can easily
be spent in the test-out phase in case of huge problems wih the CAMPS equipment only,
or in an extension of the warranty period where extra 5 visits per site will be equivalent
to this amount, or in a loss of interests, because the systems are not accepted by
SHAPE; and in all circumstances SHAPE will be nhappy with the equipment and our reputation
will suffer.

It is already now predicted that it may be necessary to extend the memory size from
192K to 256K in order to contain the CAMPS software. If no excuse can be
