Title: Sega / 3DFX - Technology Agreement
Post by razrx on 17.01.10 at 19:49:16
I found the tech agreement between Sega and 3DFX.  The release of this document at 3DFX's IPO was one of the first fatal mistakes the company made. 

Sega / 3DFX Technology & License Agreement http://www.techagreements.com/agreement-preview.aspx?num=41001&title=Sega/3DFX-TechnologyDevelopment&LicenseAgreement

More public releases are listed at the bottom of the page.

Probably when they were developing the Dreamcast Prototypes... ;)

The final Prototype they chose was from PowerVR - The Katana...this became the Dreamcast. ::)

But the 3Dfx prototype (called Black Belt) - only one example exists of this prototype...the likelihood ANY of us will see it up close is NIL! :'(

And now MANY links :D:
