Diamond is in fact a downgrade because it is not supported at all - the
company has told off anyone who wanted to write a driver for X...
They would even try to sue the programmer if they could prove a reverse-
engeneering...
Do without Diamond if you want to run free software instead of the MS-Crap.
This should be a faq though.
