Eating their lunch?  Fujitsu owns 49% of Amdahl.  All chip fabrication and
masking for Amdahl machines is done in FJ's labs.  In fact, any Amdahl 
machine after the 5995M is not even designed by Amdahl any more, it is 
designed by FJ, and re-marketed by Amdahl.

Amdahl doesn't really have a mainframe business any more, it's FJ's business.
They aren't even independent any more, having been partially swallowed up 
by Sun, IIRC.
