I recently got a Diamond Stelth 64 PCI and found out that the Vibrant in-line driver cannot support the 24-bit mode. Neither Vibrant nor Autodesk has been very helpful solving this problem. If you have the same card and made it work in 24-bit mode please share with me your situation. If not, I'm willing to buy another PCI card all together. What is the most stable PCI card that supports 24-bit color with Vibrant drivers? Thanks, -Reza

Reza: Which version of the Vibrant drivers are you using? FWIW, the Viper works fine in 24bit mode. – Bob Ritger

Bob: I'm using the latest Vibrant drivers available in this forum. I think it is 1.0.7.p1 and it still doesn't work. The problem is Vibrant doesn't want to talk to 3DS users directly to help solve this problem and Autodesk says, oh we don't know anything about it. If you have had luck with Viper can you please give me the exact model so I know what to get. Thank you, -Reza

Hi Reza, << I'm using the latest Vibrant drivers available in this forum. I think it is 1.0.7.p1 >> the latest available drivers on this forum is 1.0.8c3. jonas[adesk]

Reza: Blink and there are new drivers from Vibrant. Jonas has the skinny. The Stealth has several incarnations and from lack of posted problems here recently, I was under the impression that 3DS and the Stealth finally got along ok. Give the new drivers a shot. FWIW the Viper PCI 2mb is what I've got, no worries. – Bob Ritger

Reza, FWIW, I've had no trouble at all with my ATI Graphics ProTurbo VESA, and once ATI got their PCI drivers sorted out (about 4 months ago), the PCI version was fine too. SCL

Just a general note I finally squeezed (And I mean squeezed) out of Diamond… All video cards with 2MB ram and S3 chips are not capable of Truecolour under OS/2. You must have 4MB on the card… -john- DAS.
