High-flier may be airworthy again

Article Abstract:

Sequent Computer Systems Inc appears to be rebounding after missing its earnings forecasts for the 4th qtr of 1990 and spending most of 1991 in a financial slump. The company, a major manufacturer of superminicomputers, suffered through a decline in production in the middle of a recession and some internal problems. Sequent cut the work force by 25 percent and canceled a major project, in efforts to return to profitability. Sequent recently introduced a series of new projects including three new computers in the Symmetry 2000 line, all of which use the Intel 80486 microprocessor. The Open Software Foundation also announced that Sequent's machines will be the primary computers for development of multiprocessor versions of OSF/1. The company's use of industry-standard microprocessors, multiprocessing and Unix places it in a strong position for future success.
