- My version of the User's Manual which accompanied the Diamond Stealth/VRAM
- card listed various addresses used by the card, HOWEVER, TWO IMPORTANT
- PORT ADDRESSES WERE ACCIDENTALLY OMITTED FROM THE DOCUMENTATION; NAMELY,
- LOCATIONS 2E8 and 2E0.
-
- I learned about these from a Diamond tech-rep when I encountered conflicts
- with a COM port.
