Noah, I know of at least 4 people using the 3DS/PCI/Viper/latest Vibrant drivers (including myself) with absolutely no problems, So we at least know they work pretty good most of the time <g>. I'm using the latest ones off the forum, here. Have you tried excluding a memory segment (if you are using a memory manager like QEMM)? Actually, I do not know if this is an issue with the PCI version like it was with the VLB. If you keep having problems, let me know and if you wish, I'll Email you my phone # and I'll try to talk you through a set-up using my system as an example… -Alan PS –Just saw your latest. Please disregard and I'm happy you are up and running!

Alan- Thanks for the tip. My attitude is it's working (apparently with the same set you and the others are using) and I'm just not intellectually curious enough to delve into it more. I'm assuming for now that that later driver is a problem…. –Noah

If it IS a later driver that is actually trashed for the Viper, Noah, I sure hope the folks at Vibrant know about it! -Alan

You know, I told Diamond but I'm not sure I told Vibrant. Isn't there a Vibrant guy who hangs out here? Do you know his name/addr? –Noah

I can't seem to the find the original description of the problem… Can someone give me the run down of the problem and the attempted fixes to this point? Chuck Walbourn – Vibrant Graphics

Chuck- I'm fuzzy on it now, but it seems that when I used your 4/8/94 version it kept telling me the MemAddr in my .ini file was incorrect. It said that a Viper should be @ 2000, 8000, or A000, while my .ini file said B800. I tried changing to each of the suggested values, and it reported (surprise) that it couldn't find my card. As you probably picked up, the version on this forum lib worked. I'm sorry that I can't look into it deeper, but I'm burning under a deadline. Someone else reported a similar problem. –Noah
