Matsushita Electric Industrial Co affiliate Solbourne Computer Inc, Longmont, Colorado has thrown in the towel on its Sparcstation- and Sparcserver-compatible business, and is cutting its workforce by 65%. It now intends to pursue its new plan to resell Oracle Systems Corp financial software. Solbourne will continue providing service and support – from Grumman Corp’s Systems Support Unit – to its installed customer base and will supply products to customers that want to expand or upgrade their systems. It is also in talks with Sun Microsystems Inc on reselling Sun servers.
