What I'd like to find out if anybody runs it also well on a bit older
Gateway 2000 486/33 which came with the Diamond SpeedStar Plus card and
the dual horizontal frequency (31.5 & 48 KHz) CrystalScan 1024 NI
monitor?  (Micronics Gemini motherboard).  

The documentation states somewhere a problem with newer SpeedStar cards
(like Stealth and 24, I guess), but the Plus card is not one of them.
Yet, I haven't heard anybody actually confirming that this video combo is
OK for Xfree.
