På den här engelska genomgången (från något kallat DataSAABs vänner) finns en
mer korrekt genomgång av historiken:
http://www.datasaab.se/Summary/summary.htm
"Datasaab was originally a small part of the technical department at Saab.
Operations expanded fast , and facilities for production, marketing and
maintenance were added. Datasaab became a separate division at Saab in 1968.
The mainframe system D20 was transferred to Sperry Univac in 1975, and at the
same time Datasaab acquired a number of European subsidiaries from Facit. At
that time the Datasaab group had some 3000 employees, 750 of whom worked
outside Sweden, and had yearly sales of 400 million SEK.
Datasaab separated from Saab in 1978 and joined Stansaab in a new company,
Datasaab AB. This company was acquired by Ericsson three years later and became
part of a business group named Ericsson Information Systems (EIS). Nokia took
over part of EIS in 1987, including what remained of the original Datasaab, an
R&D group in Linköping, which in turn was sold to ICL/Fujitsu in 1991."
Det var alltså avdelningen för "mainframes" som såldes till Sperry Univac 1975.
DataSAAB självt körde på ett tag till, var hyggligt stora, och det såldes så
småningom av.
