Computer Memories hopes to pare 1984 losses.

The firm, which makes computer disk drives, said it expects to report net income of $1.6 million to $2 million for the fourth quarter ended March 31. For the third quarter, the company reported a $8.9-million loss. However, the Chatsworth-based firm said it is reducing the $6-million inventory write-off from the third quarter, which caused much of that quarter’s $8.9-million loss. The company also said it has resolved production problems on its CM 6000 disk drive, which is used in IBM’s PC-AT computer.
