RMBS vs Hitachi

Well, Hitachi certainly will never make RDRAM parts until the
sun cools. The funny part is that RMBS is also looking for infringement
on the SH2-5 processors. These were created from a legal
battle with Motorola. Hitachi was making a faster CMOS version
than Motorola and was sued. They counter-sued and halted the shipments
of the 68040. This halted shipments of Mac Quadras.

Amusingly, a counter-suit would be in Hitachi's best interest
again. RDRAM is in volume use in the N64 and soon-to-be-released
Playstation II. Hitachi is a Sega partner and would benefit from
halting Playstation II launch. Fun little bag of worms that RMBS opened.
