Diamond has instructions in their web page for loading the proper drivers
in NT4 for each of their Stealth64 cards... most of these are based on 
S3 chips but I know that there are some based on an ARK chip(?).  Verify 
which one you have and load the proper drivers for it.

Mine is a Stealth 64 Graphics 2000 (aka Stealth 64 DRAM) and it works
fine with NT4.  The only thing I am wondering is if Diamond will implement
its InControl Tools for NT.  From the responses I have gotten from my
original posting... it seems that I shouldn't keep my hopes up too 
much :-( 

Cheers,
