 PROFILE

Once a leading maker of graphics accelerators, the revamped company now makes MP3 players through its Rio division, and offers its Diamond Mako brand personal digital assistants (PDAs) Supra dial-up modems, and HomeFree Internet gateways through its Access unit. The company's frontpath subsidiary makes wireless Internet appliances. SONICblue also has a 33% stake in digital media infrastructure company (and former subsidiary) RioPort. The company moved its pioneering graphics chip business into a 50/50 joint venture with VIA Technologies (S3-VIA), and sold its NT workstation graphics accelerator division to ATI Technologies.
