Welcome to the wonderful world of Diamond!  Diamond has some really
ANAL problems with making their specs available so that drivers can be
written for things like OS/2 and Linux.  While they may be on the top
of the video heap now, I personally believe that they will regret this
policy as it *will* be their downfall as the market will eventually
move away from Diamond.

"HEY DIAMOND!, WAKE UP"
