Having lead the investment group that bought an issue of shares made by the company last year, Emulex Corp, Costa Mesa, California has now agreed to broadbrush collaboration with supermicro manufacturer General Robotics Corp, Hartford, Wisconsin. Under the agreement, Emulex will provide General Robotics with its full line of DEC-compatible peripheral and communications controllers for use with the company’s Python 32 NS32000-based Q-bus Unix machines. Emulex chairman Fred Cox has also been elected to the board of General Robotics, which started out in the early 1970s as a DEC systems integrator.
