And it's NOT a problem with TOB - two different incarnations of my DIVE code do not work on computers with EnDIVE enabled. It's pretty likely that IBM's DIVE demo code doesn't work - EnDIVE is ... I just don't get it but it's never worked as far as I've seen - if someone's actually seen it work - well? Someone who recently tried a build of Seeds on an EnDIVE capable card didn't say there were any color problems or other things that people have had with TOB - but he got a framerate of 9-10 fps with EnDIVE enabled .... and a framerate of 25-30 fps with it disabled - if that's you're definition of working ...
