Stitch & UpwardB,

Quantum & MKE have written off the wafer fab business, but wholly owned subsidiary of MKE continues with slider & HGA assembly in Batam- totally captive- using outside sourced wafers.

Remaining engineering group in Mass. are employees of an MKE subsidiary.

Colorado wafer fab is now in the hands of StorageTek (tape heads). Shrewsbury fab is out of the HDD heads business, but no announcements that I know of as to new operators.
