G'day,

I'm a masochist trying to run Linux and OS/Warp on a computer that
has:
-DIAMOND Stealth 64 DRAM video card
-DIAMOND modem
-DIAMOND soundcard
-DIAMOND Cd ROM which is actually a Teac 55a

I figured out how to install the video drivers in Warp, it took me
2 weeks and 2 cartons VB (Australian beer, without the beer it would
have taken 2 months because the installation procedure is made by drunks
for drunks). There is no chance for Linux I've heard because DIAMOND wants
to keep its secrets so I didn't even bother to install Linux.
The modem is working ok even without instructions.
The soundcard and the Cd ROM are giving me a hard time, I'm trying to
install OS2 WARP from a Cd but no way. I tried the NEW Opti 929 driver
which is supposed to work with the Diamond sound card and the Teac 55a
driver. B.....dy f....ing no way. Sorry!! I think the hardware is quite
good I just can't understand Diamonds stupiod attitude not to support
OS2 and Linux. I don't want to be stuck with DOOF or WINGHOS, I'd rather
fire up my COMMODORE VC64 or my ZX81 again. 
The other option would be to buy new hardware and I'm seriously thing about it,
any suggestions what to buy? Anybody interested in buying cheap DIAMOND stuff?

Regards from Horst (who is so mad that he shouldn't have posted this but
who might have helped other sufferers from Diamond desease)
