lost contract?

in yesterdays announcement, WDC said they will stop making the 3 inch drive; from the following announcement, it sounds like APM was the supplier for this drive:

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 1997--Western Digital Corp. (NYSE:WDC) Monday announced the company's implementation of magneto-resistive (MR) head technology across its hard drive product platforms.

MR head technology is featured in the mobile platform with the currently shipping 2.1 GB, 3-inch WD Portfolio hard drives, as well as in the WD Caviar 6.4 GB 3.5-inch desktop hard drive program now in pilot production. The WD Enterprise Ultra SCSI hard drives implementing MR heads will be released in Q4CY97. Applied Magnetics Corp., IBM Corp., Read-Rite Corp. and TDK Corp./SAE have been selected as MR head suppliers for the respective programs.
