Although IBM invented PRML, I don't think they're offering read channel chips for sale. I don't know for sure about that, but I do know that CRUS, Lucent, and TI are the major players in the read channel market. Judging simply from the text of the press release, it seems that what IBM is selling to WD is not read channel technology but rather MR head technology. That scenario would make more sense to me.
