James,
Well I finally found someone else with the same problem as I have. NT has
VIPER PCI listed in the hardware compatibilty section. Diamond says it
should work and has sent me the newest BIOS (3.13). Still EVERYTHING I've
tried to get my Viper PCI (2MB) to run under WIN NT, does not work. NT even
recognizes the Weitek P9000 (and Brooktree Bt4?? chip) on the card, but
when tested my monitor goes black (actually goes into sleep mode as if
there is no VGA signal!).
It is interesting that yours worked in NT 3.5 though. I wonder if it's the
same driver?
I do not know where to turn now, except to buy a new card (Viper SE or Stealth
64 VRAM). Please let me know if you find out anything (spending an extra
$4-500 on a new card when the Viper works perfect in DOS, 3DS, and W4WG
doesn't make me happy!)
