Hi Charles I'm sure my story is NOT typical but I have been trying to get a respnse from Diamond for some time in their area here and so have a lot of people about a lot of Diamond cards by the looks of things. Try scanning the message areas in GO DMNDONLINE. I bought a Diamond Stealth 64 about 10 months ago and made the store salesman open the package to prove it worked with OS/2. According to the manuals it did.. There was even software droivers for it. Needless to say it didn't even install. Eventually I had to write to Diamond (I'm in the UK) to get any help I could. They were quite quick to supply drivers (From Amsterdam) but they dont work at all in True colour at 800×600 and throw flic data all over the screen at 640×480. I still cant use truecolour under OS/2 with this card. Under Windoze it's a great card. No complaints at all. Unfortunately I'm not prepared to run Microsoft OS/s any more. Thats a Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM 2Mb… Needless to say it runs (for example 3D studio fine under OS/2 but just dont try swapping it out to another task, only works when it feels like it.) Under Dos 3DS works fine. Hope that's some help… I do reccomend GO DMNDONLINE to get a feel for their other cards. -john-
