I logged onto Diamond (since I have a SpeedStar 24) ftp directory & the
drivers look the same (date & all), so didn't look like they upgraded their

never called them before?

So how do I know?  I have a friend who bought the same one & he's not having
much trouble with it.

I got the new AMIBios '94 update.  So where/which menu is it in?  & what
should I change it to?  8MHz right?
