I think you are pretty much right on Fundamental. PSI is a bunch of Amdahl (?) refugees. Yes, they have their own 390+ emulator software, some of it apparently written as microcode or the like for Intel Itanium. No one REALLY knows what they did to make IBM sue rather than embrace them, but the bottom line is they did -- the nominal cause being using IBM patents without a license.

(-: I read the PSI filing but I didn't understand it. I have to admit I'm totally confused. One reason was I got PSI mixed up with FSI. Fundamental makes an emulator, right called Flex? And only their systems are allowed to run ADCD and licensed IBM software? And they only sell through resellers, Cornerstone CSI being one of them? So who is PSI? I went to their website, but I still didn't get it. What did they do to anger IBM? Do they have their own emulator that isn't Flex-ES? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
