MTBF of complex systems is theoretical easy to calculate. Yo should divide the system in small pieces and divide in series system and parallel system.

In serial system, if a component fail, all system will fail. In parallel system, the system maybe continue runinf even if a component fail. ie, your floppy disk drive is broken but the computer still working, execpt you can not read and write floppys.

I describe how to use Excel to calculate the MTBF of a product in my book
