    In October 1986, NEC formed a joint venture with Honeywell, HNSX Supercomputers, to sell NEC's supercomputers in the United States and Canada.[6] In October 1989, Honeywell agreed to sell its share in HNSX Supercomputers to NEC.[7]

    In April 1997 HNSX Supercomputers and Fujitsu were jointly found guilty of dumping by bidding below cost in order to sell a supercomputer to the National Center for Atmospheric Research.[8] In September 1997 the United States International Trade Commission found that Cray had been financially injured by the pricing practices of HNSX Supercomputers and Fujitsu.[9] Cray later took over the operations of HNSX, and acquired rights to sell NEC supercomputers in the US, in February 2001.[10]
