Eli,
I'm not exactly sure why Panacea sold you a driver. Obviously there was
some mis-communication between you and the salesperson. First of all, if
the driver that came with your SS24X said that it supported 3D Studio in
the particular mode that you were wanting to use, and it didn't, then that
is Diamond's problem, not Panacea's. Granted, they are shipping a BETA
product with their board, but if they aren't going to inform users of that
fact, then they are the ones you should be taking out your frustrations on.
Diamond goes through all kinds of internal testing after receiving a driver
from us, so they should know what is supported and what isn't. It is too
bad that they have to ship a BETA product, but this isn't a Utopia. There
are problems you incur during development which puts a product past its
expected ship date. How often do you see a software product ship when it
is supposed to? Not often. The good thing is that Diamond has chosen the
world's leading provider of display list drivers, so when TurboDLD does
finally ship, you will own the FASTEST and EASIEST to use driver on the
market. It will support EVERY MODE of the SS24X in both display and render
modes. So, what this comes down to is if we [PANACEA] sold you a driver in
error, call us and get your money back. Just explain the situation, the
salespeople are very friendly and will make you happy. Then call Diamond
and see if you can get the latest BETA for the SS24X, which DOES support
all modes.
