It's gone.   Fujitsu owned just short of 50% of it for the longest time, 
and finally bought the rest around 1997 or so; after a while they killed 
off the mainframe business, and not long thereafter, the Amdahl name.  Now 
it's Fujitsu in the old Amdahl buildings (the ones still occupied, 
anyway).

I was laid off in 1994 when the processor I was working on got canned, but 
it was no big deal, as I was just about to graduate from law school, so it 
was perfectly timed for a career change for me.  I've been a lawyer ever 
since, and program only for fun now.
