Eric, I'll be posting the SUNW March'98 options analysis after the close today. Then I'll post the Friday close results along with the 'new' April snapshot, over the weekend. Ben A. pipeline.com

Sun's New Java Partners.....From the Semiconductor pages of Electronic News: March 9, 1998 Issue Sun Works With ASIC Vendors To Seed Java On Silicon By Gale Morrison From the article:"...IBM is licensing the Sun picoJava I processor core to offer all of its ASIC customers, while Sun has enlisted Lucent as an ASIC partner for design and fabrication of a new input/output (I/O) controller for its computers. Lucent Technologies picks up this Sun business from Symbios Logic, the IC company that Hyundai recently sold to the less broad supplier Adaptec..." <clip> "...Mr. Silvestri said that aside from this broader IBM agreement, Sun had licensed picoJava I to NEC, Fujitsu, LG Semicon and Rockwell with terms that were specific to those companies' needs, for example LG's planned screen phones.... "...Then, from Allentown, Lucent Technologies' Microelectronics group said it has received a contract to supply Sun Microsystems with a custom input/output (I/O) controller chip for use in Sun's next-generation Java technology systems, workstations and servers..." "...The chip, which will be jointly designed by Sun and Lucent, will enable Universal Serial Bus (USB) and High-Speed Serial Bus (IEEE 1394) connections between the workstations and peripheral devices..." ===================================================================== It look's like "JAVA" on the chip is becoming reality. Both the JVM (Java Virtural Machine) chip and the JAVA embedded system chip should be available in late 1998 or early 1999. EKS
