Had a meeting with a director of the Japanese office of a major US semiconductor manufacturer (sales meeting, no direct relation to Y2K).

Asked about Y2K briefly. He says for operations systems they have 200 people in-house, and that they will either put in new systems, or modify their old ones by themselves. Working closely with some major software houses. Seems confident here. No plans to license tools from tool vendors.

Embedded on the factory floor?
