I recently received the Diamond Edge 3D board with a new system, and
since I got the OEM version, it did not come with the special version of
Nascar that comes with the one that is sold in the store. I tried calling
both Diamond and Papyrus, but all they give me is the run-around. Does
anyone know where I can order this version of Nascar (which is the only
reason I bought the Diamond Edge in the first place?)

What is the difference between the two versions?

Thanks

Apparently it is enhanced and takes advantage of the Edge 3D chipset.
I too bought a system with the Edge 3D card and did not get NASCAR with
it.  I was really hoping that Papyrus's ICR2 version for Windows 95
would support this card just like the NASCAR version that is packaged
with it.  

Hey Papyrus!  Does the Win 95 version of ICR2 require DirectDraw and
DirectX support?  Version 1.0 drivers for the Edge 3D do not support
DirectDraw and DirectX.  New drivers from Diamond are due out in March.
