TRIDENT LICENSES PANACEA'S AUTOCAD DISPLAY ACCELERATION SOFTWARE FOR ENTIRE
GRAPHICS CHIP FAMILY

LAS VEGAS, NV -- November 15, 1993 -- Panacea Inc. today announced a
non-exclusive licensing agreement with Trident Microsystems, Inc. of
Mountain View, California, which allows Trident to include a custom OEM
version of Panacea's software-based Turbo DLD software-only accelerator
for AutoCAD with Trident's TGUI9400CXi and TGUI9420DGi graphical user
inter (GUI) accelerators. The agreement also applies to the TVGA8800,
TVGA8900 and TGVA9000 series of Super VGA chips.

Panacea's TurboDLDClassic software, customized for Trident graphics chips,
provides performance 2-12x faster than AutoCAD alone for zoom, pan and
redraw operations. The product works with AutoCAD Release 12, 3D Studio
Release 3, AutoShade 2 with RenderMan. It is backward compatible with
AutoCAD Release 11 and 10/386, as well as 3D Studio version 1.x and 2x.

In addition to the AutoCAD performance boost, TurboDLDClassic which retails
for $ 149US, offers quick access to any part of the user's drawing via a
single operation. TurboDLDClassic for the entire family of Trident
graphics chips will be available by the end of the month from either the
Trident BBS at (415) 691-1016 or Panacea's BBS at (603) 4325193.

"This is an exciting opportunity for Trident to significantly improve
AutoCAD performance for our next generation of GUI accelerators. Working
with Panacea allows us to provide the advanced, high-performance features
of AutoCAD in a cost-effective manner," said Tad Furutsuki, product
marketing manager for advanced graphics.

controller integrates a 24-bit DAC, a dual clock synthesizer, an SVGA
core, and GUI engines. In conjunction with the TurboDLD software,
