    Well, I sent a letter yesterday asking about the status of the Diamond drivers for OS/2 2.x to their Compuserve Account. This was the response. INCLUDED TEXT-----------------------------------------------------
    At this time, IBM has yet to release the 32-bit GRE (Graphics Engine) for OS/2 2.0. Until such time, we will not release drivers for any card.
    Drivers written for the current release would have to be re-written.
    Also, IBM has just gone to BETA with a release to include the 32-bit GRE,
    but has specifically stated not to do any development of video drivers
    with this BETA. Once the 32-bit GRE and development tools are available, driver development will continue.
