>How long did Amdahl last? Until 64-bit, like HDS. Even though IBM was just open (as required) with the z/Arch, both companies couldn't afford the R&D. But, Amdahl really went down the tubes, while HDS still (at least) sells disk for the mainframe.
I remember the last time I talked to an Amdahl rep. He was calling me (in Toronto); they no longer had a local office. I told him I wasn't interested without a Toronto presence. I do know of a couple of (anonymous) service bureaus that still have their customers on Amdahl equipment. There is (apparently) no business case to upgrade. (Obviously, they are not running 64-bit, nor supported software). - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
