Mark, re >Does anyone know the level of business Quantum does with Dell?<

Page 43 of the 1998 annual report says "one major customer accounted
for 13% ... of consolidated sales. In addition another accounted for 10%..."

So we have an upper bound.

Mark,

Your comments: <<I think this news will be short term fine for them as to date Maxtor isn't a big customer, but IBM is.>>

So true. IBM went from 35% of HTCH revenue in FY Q4 '98 to 56% last quarter.

Regards,
LT

Mark,

Last quarter, Quantum largest customers (includes HDD and tape)were Compaq and HP at 14 and 12% of revenue respectively. Next in line were Gateway, Apple, IBM and then, bringing up the rear, is Dell.
