Tony Viola. Re: Adaptec. Good post. Could part of their problem also be due to BTO which will shrink inventories of finished goods in the channel until a balance is reached. BTO IMHO will hurt the "component" suppliers until the slack is removed from the system. Also, as the big 4 gain share at the expense of the 2nd tier, it will also create short-term inventory dislocations, as the 2nd tier thinks sales will be higher but are brought up short by reality.

Intel has stated that BTO has cost them an estimated $750 million in revenue, I believe. Couldn't Adaptec be vulnerable to just this type of correction?
