Any MATROX users out there? Is MATROX on the net? I have recently had the opportunity to write a complete set of unix device drivers for the MATROX frame buffer hardware. The hardware is really kinda nice considering what it does versus what it costs. The system I used was a Heurikon 68K system sitting on a multibus. I would like to hear from MATROX users and (hope beyond hope) from MATROX themselves concerning interest in the drivers. Is this the sort of thing one markets? By the way, the drivers are all aware of the funky byte switching glitch in going to and from the devices (which have the msb and lsb reversed in relation to the rest of the machine) and even so have excellent perform- ance.
