Mischievous and misleading: so says Memorex Telex apropos the statement by John Clarke, Nokia Data’s managing director, that Memorex Telex customers with McData Corp installed controllers will not be able to buy any new products or upgrades released by McData; Nokia Data has been appointed as McData’s European supplier of 3270 controllers, coinciding with the termination of a six-year OEM agreement between McData and Memorex Telex; Memorex says that it has an on-going relationship with McData and it will continue to provide upgrades and maintenance to its existing user base; new products will be sourced from its own manufacturing facility in Raleigh, North Carolina; John Clarke, a former Memorex-Telex employee, says Memorex Telex is wrong and Nokia Data will be supplying all upgrades for the entire range.
