Some folks would like to see the hidden hand of LSI Logic Corp. in the FTC's
decision, particularly since LSI was quick to offer to acquire Symbios for $760
million at the end of June, after Adaptec pulled out of the running. It is clear that
a third party intervened to provide cooked-up numbers for the FTC, but all
indications are that the efforts came from a SCSI customer of Adaptec and
Symbios. But far more interesting than hunting for conspiracies is to ask why
the FTC would look at such a specious case of market dominance.
