I believe there are already some Sun "clones" (e.g. Tadpole), but they have tended to address niches in which Sun itself doesn't really play. I'm not sure how effectively Amdahl can "clone" Sun's big iron (unless with Sun's participation), because I suspect (haven't done any research, so I don't really know) some aspects of the architecture may be patent protected. It could actually be a positive for Sun, if it grows the market and eases "sole source" anxiety among potential buyers. But that's JMHO. Charles Tutt (TM)

OS390/UNIX. I am wandering if anybody can comment on OS390/UNIX (new name for Open Edition MVS)? 1.Does it play any significant role in the IBM marketing startegy?
