The Japanese economy has been clobbered for several years now by terrible
internal financial problems, by a high Yen exchange rate, and by low
consumer confidence--a terrible recipe in general and death for a Mac only
after-market supplier. IMO even an Interware reorganization will be tough,
but currently holding two dead G3-320s, I'm still hoping.... Moreover, we
can safely assume the new Apple has never really liked 3rd party CPU upgrade
vendors.
