I'm looking for a specific tech demo for the Matrox G400 series of graphics cards. Here's a video:

Does anyone have the executable file? It used to be hosted at the address below, but seems to have entirely disappeared from the Web:
ftp://ftp.matrox.com/pub/mga/devrel/g400/g400techdemo.zip
My Google-fu skills have turned up nothing so far.
Thank you, much obliged.
How cool is that?? I had given up on ever finding this! Thanks!

Expect out of life, that which you put into it.
It's a shame opengl never had standardized EMBM extensions. I would've jumped on doing that water effect immediately.
Would you believe there's an episode of How It's Made that has footage of a factory building Matrox cards and this demo appeared to be part of the QA testing?
Don't seem to be able to get this, download stops very quick, @1% anyone help out, want to see my G450 sing 😀

OK, now to remember the string you needed to add to the config to run it outside of G400 hardware.
Quick update...
-To run the installer on Windows Vista/Windows 7 on requires using "XP Mode". Unclear there is any way on WIndows 8 outside of a full install of an earlier Windows version in a VM.
-To run the demo outside of G400/Matrox hardware requires adding "i_promise_i_will_go_buy_a_matrox_g400" at the end of matrox.cfg file.
...but even with that done it won't run under my Windows 7 system, crashing out shortly after initializing the display. 🙁
