| Abstract: | How Taiwan's motherboard makers survived an attack. Intel will pummel us. That was the scary feeling at many of Taiwan's electronics firms in 1995, when executives there learned some startling news. Mighty Intel Corp. planned to add to its near monopoly in microprocessors by making motherboards as well.

But if Intel planned to muscle in on the business, how would the Taiwanese fare? |
