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.
