Greetings,

Question:

Does the Diamond Stealth S3 Vision 964 chip (2 meg, PCI) conflict with an 
internal modem at Com 4, Irq 3? The card was purchased in 8/94.

Some people have said that I am crazy, but I remember reading that they 
conflict because something in the Stealth card with the S3 Vision 964 
chip uses Com 4, or Irq 3.

Do they conflict??

I had to remove my modem and install it in my other system so that I 
could use the modem.

I'm considering getting another video card for my system with the modem 
and I don't want to buy a card that won't work with my modem.

I know that it *should not* conflict but others have had this same 
problem and I was advised in an InterLink Hardware conference when I 
first installed the modem that the S3 chip was a problem with Com4 and/or 
Irq 3.

I know it sounds crazy, but I remember being told about the conflict.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jerry Dombeck
