My version of the User's Manual which accompanied the Diamond Stealth/VRAM
card listed various addresses used by the card, HOWEVER, TWO IMPORTANT
PORT ADDRESSES WERE ACCIDENTALLY OMITTED FROM THE DOCUMENTATION; NAMELY,
LOCATIONS 2E8 and 2E0.
I learned about these from a Diamond tech-rep when I encountered conflicts
with a COM port.

Yes, that IS a '%' (percent sign) in my network address.

DID YOU KNOW...: Colorado has the distinct, albeit dubious, "honor" of being
the first state (Nov. '92) to explicitly enact discrimination into law:
"Neither the State of Colorado ... nor any of its municipalities ... shall ...
enforce any ... ordinance ... whereby homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual
orientation ... shall ... be the basis of ... any ... claim of discrimination"
