It sounds like this was a buyout so the other co-founder could retire, either way - nice to know they are still around. It seems they found their niche in doing obscure video and enterprise AV solutions after they backed out of consumer graphics / when the Parhelia flopped.

I once had a rig with a Matrox G400 and 2 12MB 3dfx Voodoo cards in SLI. That box was it way back when. Now I have to settle for a single Nvidia 2080Ti.

LOL that was literally my first thought "They were still around?". Man the video card industry desperately needs some new blood.
