I wonder how many of you read the article on the NEC supercomputer.
(The US Govt., "persuaded" MIT to buy CRAY instead.)
Anyway, the article referred to "Honeywell - NEC" that was trying
to sell the computers in the US.
Question - is the reference to BULL (in which NEC and H have shares
still) or is there an independent agreement between Honeywell
(corporate, not Bull) and NEC?

| 27.1 | Separate Venture | CSG001::MCOHEN | Tue Apr 04 1989 10:34 | 14 | |
Honeywell-NEC Supercomputers was a separate venture set up back
in about the 1985/86 timeframe to market the NEC Supercomputers
in the US. Jim Barrett, who had left Honeywell Information Systems
to be President (or something) at Compugraphics and was fired from
CG, was named CEO for H-N Supercomputers. As the article in the
Globe mentioned, the joint venture is in trouble, and if the new
machine in NEC doesn't make it, the venture will probably be shut
down.
Another computer failure for Honeywell. Sigh.......
