- Hello,
-
- This is a quick update on Diamond Stealth (S3 based svga).
-
- According to Geoff Orr, from Diamond, they are not going to publicly
- release information on how to set their clocks. All new Diamond cards
- not just the S3 based cards will use this method.
-
- Nice move Diamond, I guess you're really going after that 32 protected
- mode market. What a shame after they did such a great job with the new
- hardware. Fortunately there are many S3 based cards to choose from now.
-
- Speaking for the X386E project, we have no plans in supporting the
- Diamond Stealth but instead will focus on hardware for which we can get
- some technical documentation from the vendors. This probably means that
- we won't be supporting any of the Diamond products until they feel
- differently about providing us with techincal information. Orchid has
- been much more cooperative in this.
