I can't answer this question directly, but recent news shows Perkins-Elmer selling off or some-such. Bottom line I read is that there are no more US companies in this market - the Japanese hold 100%. I don't recall my source (sorry - magazine plethora) but do recall this in the context of a Taiwanese chip vendor complaining that if Japan decided to deny him trade, he'd have nowhere else in the world to go, and was lamenting the lack of US manufacturers of this equipment. This was in the last week or two. -- ........................................................................... Andrew Palfreyman andrew@dtg.nsc.com Albania before April!
