7. The Ruffing Center availabilities were good this week for
all software systems, although there were some problems. VM lost
an hour Thursday evening, and IBM switched two suspected cards from

startup on Friday due to errors in the switiching of the Comtens.
GIMPROD had significant problems on several days due to hardware,
software, and procedural problems. The Versatec plotter was again
down for most of the week due to slow servicing response. Failures
of Comten 9 caused several hours of lost time 0 on Thursday

8. The Special Center also had a good week. CAMPROD lost
only a few minutes. NIPS halted several times but without any
STAT extensive outages.
HDA (Head Disk Assembly) replacements.
9. An abnormal amount of problems were encountered on the
SHARE devices early this week. It is felt these problems are
