Re: Drivers for Diamond Multimedia DVI card

[Dan <dan27649@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just recently returned a Diamond video card because they responded ZERO
times to my support requests, about 5 or so.  It was using the ATI Radeon.
ATI responded to requests, but no resolution.  I exchanged it for an eVga
using another chipset.  Much better support and it works.

Win98SE, with a Viewsonic 20.1" LCD?  What's wrong with *that* picture?
;-)  Seriously, though, I've not had good luck finding any Win98 driver
support for newer devices recently, so good luck on that.
