We have a Micron system that came with a Diamond
Video 2000 PCI card which is apparently an ARK
chipset that Diamond is unable to publish specs
on. Micron has offered to trades us up to a
Diamond Video 64 PCI card with an S3 type chip set.
Will that card work with X? If not, what would
you recommend for a card to support X in a 100mhz/PCI
Micron system?
thanks,

1. Pls help identify Diamond "Stealth 64 Video" card
Yo enlightened ones!
Here's my sad tale ..
Circa August, 1995, I bought a Diamond video card. I've had a very
difficult time trying to get it configured for use with XFree86.
I'm aware that Diamond has released many variations of cards
under the same name & also the same card under different names.
I'm hoping that someone can help me generate the proper XConfig
settings. I've used XF86Setup, XF86Config, read the READMEs and
HOW_TO's and have tried everything I can think of.
The box & documentation labels it as:
Stealth 64 Video 2MB VRAM (PCI)
The book is Copyrighted 1995 & is labeled "Version 100" on the back
(the card is described below). Note that the physical layout of the
card does NOT match the picture in the book, but I figured that was
typical "one manual fits all" stuff.
Anyway, the card:
The board is identified in the upper left corner as:
STEALTH SE PCI (!)
C 1995 USA Rev. B1
FCC ID: FTUPCI7322M
A paper sticker covers the "SE PCI" part and reads:
Video VRAM PCI
On the left edge of the board is:
DIAMOND
MULTIMEDIA
R87C74R88
C75C76R86
The RAMDAC in the middle of the board is labelled:
S3 Trio32 (I believe the 64 Video is supposed to have
IAAB2 the S3-968 RAMDAC and the SE has the Trio32??)
86C732-P
9513 03003
A chip in the lower left corner is stamped:
M27C256B
-I5XFI
BHHAU
9509B
On top of this chip is a blue paper label:
Stealth 64 Video VRAM
C1995 Diamond V1.01
There is a vertical row of eight (VRAM?) chips toward the right edge,
labelled:
NPN
NN514256J-60
At the extreme right edge are two (???) chips:
SEC Korea
516Y
KM416C2256BJ-7
There is a "Feature Connector", but no obvious daughterboard connecter.
So my questions are:
Is this really a 64 Video VRAM / 64 Video 3200 / 64 Video 3240 ??
Is it really a Video SE??
Any hints on getting it configured?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
