I ordered a Micron EISA/486dx2-66 with a Diamond Viper card, and a VLB-SCSI-2
controller - it should be a real screamer, and I'd be willing to put in a hundred
or so hours in on writing drivers for these beasts if I just knew where to start.
The latest computer shopper has at least a dozen clone-makers (zeos , ares, tc, eps,
ariel design, comtrade, fastmicro, santron, zenon, maximus, vektron. micron) who will
put a weitek P9000 (the heart of the viper) in the system for you. If we can't get
help from Diamond, maybe Weitek can shed some light on the problem ???
My system should leave beautiful downtown Nampa Idaho next week, after they get
their ECS EISA motherbord shipment.... I'll be back here looking for
more direction and motivation when it arrives on my San Gabriel doorstep.
