Dear Netters !

  CONVEX computers are wide used for computational chemistry.

May somebody estimate the reliability of CONVEX C120 or CONVEX C3xxx
for a case of large e scale non-empirical calculations (for example,G92
24h per day :-) ) :

-  how many years will succesfully work magnetic disks
-  how long is mean time between computer failures
   etc.
