Since micros are somewhat simpler internally than larger computers, does anyone
have any thoughts on the integrity with which data is stored and/or manipulated?
As an example, micros have a simple parity check in memory where larger a
larger computer might have ECC. Also, the methods of checking data which is
read off of disk, etc.
In short, could a microcomputer be used in very sensitive applications?
I'd appreciate any and all opinions. Thanks.
