Hello all:
I'm trying to get a feeling for how often I should expect to run into
hardware problems. We have 5 Alphastation 255's, each with a CD-ROM drive
and an external scsi tape drive. In the eight months I've worked here, I
have replaced a SIMM, a CD-ROM drive, and a tape drive. Happily, all under
warranty, as all of the machines are under two years old. This seems a
little excessive to me, and if it continues the cost of maintaining these
workstations will become a serious issue.
Does anyone out there have a feel for whether the failure rate I'm seeing is
typical? Is it going to get worse?
