grade | notes |
101 | MCM-04 | 8-July-99, 6-Aug-99, 20-Aug-99 | accept | A | Now OK. Previously a shorted surface mount component disabled one TGV. QA details here. |

121 | MCM-03 | 6-Jul-99 | accept | A? | tested with Si attached, noisy, detector assembly IB-07 |
summary (evaluation lot):
We accept grades A and B.
fraction accepted = 6/18 = 0.33 +- .11.
Two MCMs (which originally were judged "good") have failed tests after
being attached to Si assemblies, handled, having surface mount components
added and changed, ... If we include these in the MCM yield as "good",
8/18 = 0.44 +- .12 were originally "good".
