Toshiba Corp is still ploughing on with its three-year effort to develop a fault-tolerant Unix computer using Marlborough, Massachusetts-based Sequoia Systems Inc’s software, but on the Sparc RISC, and it has paid $1.5m to expand its technical licensing agreement with Sequoia. The new pact gives Toshiba additional rights to some patents and technology, and any new technologies patented as part of the development process will be cross-licensed between the two. Sequoia expects the Toshiba machine to be ready for marketing late next year.
