Although Fujitsu Ltd should now have access to fully-developed Sparc machines via its soon-to-be-acquired ICL sibling transfer of control is scheduled to be completed on November 30 – the Tokyo firm – which also fabricates Sun Microsystems’ RISC part for the Asian and Pacific markets – has decided to do its own thing, and is currently readying a range of Sparc-based systems, from desktops upwards, for release on the international market. Fujitsu executives in New York for Unix Expo said that the systems, using the SunOS implementation from Interactive Systems Corp, will likely be announced at one of the big US Unix shows next year, and that a business plan is now being prepared.
