Dan or John,
If I may jump in here. I went through the same search recently. I have
a fax here from Omnicomp talking about the board you're discussing.
In the ad, it list the 3Demon board as usable with 3D Studio. When I
called and talked to them directly though, this turned out not to be
the case. The explanation was, it is not that the board doesn't work
with 3D Studio. It is that 3D Studio does not work with any of the
acc boards. Just before I bought my system, I asked Jonas if it was
true that there were no accelerator boards that would work with 3DS.
He answered, this is true. I spoke to Chris Smith at Omnicomp, and Joy
Li, at ELSA. Chris told me that when 3DS R5 is released for NT then
thier boards will work with 3D Studio. How they know this, I don't
know. I was also told that ELSA's Gloria board will work with 3D
Studio now. The fax I received from them stated that it has AutoCad
drivers but nothing specific about 3D Studio. When Jonas told me
that there were none…I kind of lost interest. I have the contact
numbers for all of these places if you are interested.
