Reminds me of Intel. Back in the day they had a huge contract with Panasonic to supply flash chips. And then they decided to renege on it. Panasonic put Intel on their banned suppliers list.

How does that work when I can still get a new Intel-based Durabook and AFAIK that line has been ongoing without any discontinuity.

Are you maybe thinking of the Panasonic (Japan) Toughbook? I don't think the Durabook (Taiwan) brand has anything to do with Panasonic?

Also that was 20 years ago and I could misremember. Or the two might have made up.
