Hi fellow enthusiasts,
I managed to win a Diamond Speedstar Pro video card on ebay. The TULARC website (I wonder if that was set up by an amateur radio club) says it can display 1024 X 768 resolution. It has one megabyte of RAM. I was wondering if you can get more colors with 640 X 480 resolution. I'm pretty vague on how video memory is structured.
The website says that the card can be configured for zero wait states or one wait state. I am hoping to use this card with a 386 running at 25 MHz. Does anyone know which setting will work?
I found another website that has a link claiming to be the driver for this card, but it's well over a megabyte. That seems kinda big to me. Do you guys think it's fake? (I saved the URL - I can post it tomorrow)
Thanks,
Sean
