Paradise Systems

Paradise Systems, Inc., was an American video controller and graphics adapter card manufacturer active from 1982 to 1996.

The company became a subsidiary of Western Digital when they purchased Paradise in 1986; in 1995, they sold the division to Philips, who subsequently folded it after less than a year.

[1] A privately held company, Paradise was tightly knit in its first few years and had a team of seasoned electrical engineers as its base of designers.

[8][1] After LSI Logic acquired Video Seven for $50 million, he founded his third graphics card venture, Media Vision, in 1990.

[10] Despite the merger, Western Digital continued selling computer graphics devices under the Paradise brand, eventually expanding into the quickly growing segment of 3D accelerator chips.
