:    Does anyone know whether there are Year 2000 implications for HSCs or
:    similar devices? 

   (Above cross-posted in SIOG::YEAR2000 17.*.)

   I'd check directly with the Cronic and HSx teams directly -- they may
   or may not be following the OpenVMS Y2K notes conference...  (There
   does not seem to be much (anything?) on Cronic about Y2K.  And there
   is information that the current Cronic release -- V8.6 -- is likely
   the last Cronic release for the HSC series...)

** reports: 01 March 2000

NOTE:  The KDM70 (which has been EOLed for many years) does not report the 
leap day correctly in the year 2000.  A blitz is being written to inform 
the field of this anomaly and how to correct it.
