     Mine is a Vision 968, however the story is similar. Diamond has yet
to release a DirectX-compatible driver for the Stealth 64's yet and this
is what was on their website the last I checked. The Diamond Edge 3D
cards have a compatible driver, but there is yet no word on the
Stealths.

Randy,
I have tested a few DirectDraw games on Win95 and WinNT 4 beta2 on my P166
with the
Stealth64 VRAM the games I tested were
-Super Ice qube hopper
-doom95 (doom95 does not work on NT4b2)
-Fozzie

I don't have the Win95 Version of indycar-II , but  I do have the Diamond
GT drivers , and the
Microsoft Direct-X SDK /samples DDtest.exe  (Direct Draw Test)
application.

I also have a P90 with a Trio32 which has support for about 4or 5 Features
as runs the
above games much faster than my P166. Sad but true :-( , having the right
Direct Draw
driver makes all the difference.

I believe the Stealth64's with the Vision 968 chips hardware features are
fully support
by DirectDraw,but not the older 964 based units.
Can any one confirm this ?
