Money-losing Japanese electronics company Toshiba is sparring with its U.S. joint venture partner Western Digital over the planned sale of Toshiba's computer-chip business. Toshiba warned Western Digital to stop interfering, according to letters obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press. The letters from the company's lawyers, dated May 3, accused Western Digital of "improper" interference. Western Digital bought SanDisk, Toshiba's longtime partner in making flash memory chips, last year. The financial newspaper Nikkei reported last month that Western Digital might join that effort.
