- Why don't you just say "Diamond's video drivers are buggy as hell." The
- Speedstar 24x driver is among the buggiest drivers put out ever, and the
- other Diamond drivers aren't much better (just read the .setup group to
- see how bad they are).
-
- On the other hand, Tseng's ET4000 drivers are amazingly stable, and the
- only bug I've found in our ATI Ultra drivers is that about once a week
- all the colours in DOS boxes turn yellow. (Apparently the new Ultra Pro
- drivers aren't as good yet, though.)
-
- Don't say all drivers are crap just because Diamond releases trash code!
