Paradise / Western Digital

Paradise Computers was a graphics chipset manufacturer for the IBM PC and its compatibles. It was formed by Paul Jain in 1982 who went on to form Video Seven a few years later. Toshiba used a Paradise VGA chipset in its 1989/1990 range of laptops, including the T3100SX, T3200SX, T5100/100, T5100/200, as did NEC in its PowerMate laptop range and Compaq in its Portable 386.

Paradise were bought out by Western Digital in 1986 and rebranded Western Digital Imaging. This part of the company was then sold in 1991 to Philips (see press release).
