IBM Delays Launch of Key Workstation Product

NEW YORK — International Business Machines Corp. confirmed Friday that it is delaying until next year the introduction of an important workstation costing less than $10,000 that had been expected next month.
IBM spokeswoman Judy Radlinsky said the problem that caused the delay has been corrected, the company is testing the workstations and full production should begin next year.
“We were not expecting to do volume shipments of this in 1991 anyway,” she said. “We were looking for it in 1992. Now it will be a little bit later in ’92 than originally planned.”
The Wall Street Journal said the delay leaves IBM vulnerable at the low end of the market for workstations, which are desktop machines that resemble extremely powerful personal computers.
