  11. I plan to purchase a 486 box with a Diamond Stealth S3-based video card.
  12.  I would like to run OS/2.  However, I know that S3 drivers are not yet
  13. available and I understand that the Diamond Stealth is not 8514a
  14. compatible.  I would appear to have two options (not counting buying a
  15. different video card):  1) install OS/2 with a standard VGA driver then
  16. install an S3 driver when they come out 2) wait until drivers for the
  17. Diamond Stealth are released.  As I am not currently running OS/2, I
  18. have no idea how difficult it would be to change video drivers.  Any
  19. suggestions on what I should do?
