the driver 1.0 does not support Windows 95 DirectX and DirectDraw,
etc... New drivers are on the way. It runs the ICR2 demo in DOS
pretty good (full graphics, though I have a P-120). Diamond says,
however, that this card is only for Windows 95. I have had a problem
getting a few of my DOS games working. The Edge 3D does have a built
in sound card (sound is really good in Windows 95) but it does not
support DOS (you will need another sound card for DOS). I have no idea
where you can get the ehanced NASCAR Racing CD for the Edge 3D. My
computer vendor installed the card only, (it saved me a few bucks not
to get the CDs, etc.). Let us know if you find out anything.
