It certainly didn't have market penetration in USA!
I did once have, and implemented in XenoCopy, a sample disk from an Okidata if800 model 20, which seemed to be the same as a BMC if800 model 20 (if one more alternate name might help you find information). I hadn't heard the Sumicom badging.
 
I also had a disk for Oki (don't know if same model) with the Microsoft Stand-Alone BASIC, instead of CP/M.
