This is all I could find. Maybe somebody doesn't like the storage bus.
The Wall Street Journal -- January 29, 1998
Technology Brief -- SUN MICROSYSTEMS INC.:
Moves Are Made to Double
Size of Storage Business
Sun Microsystems Inc., Palo Alto, Calif., announced a series of product
and strategy moves in the computer-storage market, actions the company
predicted will double the size of its storage business. The computer maker
until recently has sold only disk drives for storing data with its own
computers. As a result of its acquisition last year of Encore Computer
Corp., Sun is starting to sell storage devices for other companies'
computers that also use the Unix operating system, for International
Business Machines Corp. mainframe systems and for computers that use
Microsoft Corp.'s Windows NT software. John Loiacano, a Sun vice
president, said the company thinks it can double its storage business, which
analysts put at $1.5 billion to $2 billion annually, in "the next couple of
years."
