This paper investigates a stochastic model related to a xenix operating computer system. In this system one console and two dumb terminals are arranged in parallel and connected with a central processing unit (CPU). A dumb terminal may fail due to hardware while a console may fail due to hardware or due to software. Two repair facilities are available, one for inspection and repair of a console terminal and the other for the repair of a dumb terminal. Using the regenerative point technique, various reliability measures of system effectiveness are obtained.
