Networking software to Open Systems standards and called OCSF was added to link the machines to Fujitsu’s A-30 minicomputers. The 730 and 760 use 20,000 gate high-speed high-integration CMOS and 1M-bit memory chips. The M730 is to be available later this month amd the M760 at the end of July. Fujitsu looks to sell a total of 1,200 M-700 machines in four years, worth $20,000m all told.
