  If your BIOS allows it, try manualing assigning an IRQ to the PCI slot that
the Diamond card is in. I had a similar problem with a PCI based ET4000
card on an old Neptune chipset Pentium board. The BIOS should automatically
take care of IRQ allocation on the PCI bus, but a lot of the older ones
did not.

  Otherwise, think about picking up a new motherboard and CPU (Tyan Titan III +
P100 is about $270 dollars here in the states).

Good Luck, Chris
