I was talking to an engineer from STB on CI$, and he said that unlike
Diamond, STB is extremely willing to tell Linux and 386BSD X hackers
how to program their boards, programmable dot clocks and all. He
said he is working on putting out a programmers resource kit that
covers all of this. STB is just now releasing sub-$250 boards
that use a new chip from S3 (forget the number). It's their
new low-end chip that supports DRAM. Also, the have new
higher end boards that use the '924 and have BNC connectors
as well as DIN. The new STB S3 boards now have 24bit modes.
