I have been informed (and thus would like to share my mis-information) that HP and Hitachi have signed an agreement whereby HP get hold of some of Hitachi's chip fabrication technology in exchange for Precision Architecture. Way to go HP! vic

HP and Hitachi have announced an agreement which begins to license (licence) HP-PA. This agreement is to target high end opportunities for HP-PA. There should be close compatibility such that HP O/S's should be runnable on Hitachi computers. In addition, a second HP-PA partnership was announced about the same time. Samsung and HP have signed a memorandum of understanding which licenses HP-PA. Included is agreements to look for low-end opportunities for Samsung to exploit with HP-PA. In this agreement, some technology transfer of current and planned HP-PA CPU implementations can be made. Also included is some HP compiler code. In both cases, close cooperation to further define the markets and the opportunities is continuing. There is a commitment to provide strong support to HP's technology partners. Precision Architecture is branching out beyond HP! Joe Martinka Systems Technology Division - Hewlett-Packard
