You'll just have to wait and see, we'll announce the features as soon as the product is available. -Chris Panacea

Chris, Forgive me if this has nothing to do with you BUT I have to say it. I bought a Diamond Stealth 24 and didn't have much luck with the drivers: the 3ds drivers didn't work at all and the Windows drivers worked in all the modes except the 24-bit colour mode. I contacted Jaime at Diamond on the Graphics B forum asking for the latest drivers and he mailed me the latest TurboDLD (1.01b) drivers but not the latest Windows drivers. These don't work either for me and they don't have a 24-bit mode at all! What gives? Could you tell me what the latest version is and who has it? Do you have new Windows drivers yet and do they support 24-bit properly and do they do 800×600 at 64k colour – very important for me. Thanks.

Martin, I understand your frustration with the Stealth 24. The problem is most hardware vendors, including Diamond, try to get their product to market so quickly that they don't give us software people enough time to implement and test support for the new features and modes. The latest version of TurboDLD Deluxe that Diamond has is 1.01B. You said that those don't work either, what problems are you having besides the fact that none of the higher modes and pixel depths are supported? Sorry, but I can't help you with the Windows drivers, I think BINAR is doing those for Diamond. -Chris Panacea

Chris, the screen goes black and the machine locks up solid and requires a reboot and that's in the 64k colour mode, I think, or whatever the highest that is allowed.
