We went through three of them very fast but we've been running with this one reliably for several months. The boards are very fragile, in fact I'm afraid to unseat our current board as that has led to failures. We've also had a board go out when adding a TRAM module, or trying to bring the links off the PGA header. So I'd say 75% is about right, although we didn't have any failures out of the box. If you haven't tried so already you should try a different transputer in your B011 because we've had one or two of them go out on us too. Paul
