Don't know. I lost interest in Diamond hardware.

"Batman" posted a message (id <4356bw@gotham.city>) disclosing a clock set
algorithm for Diamond. Sorry I didn't save it, but it's possibly illegal
to distribute. It may have been accidently archived somewhere. It will
certainly never be in any attributable distribution code (unless "Batman" is
working on a driver).
