RE: an interesting post from Terry Lambert on the hardware ramifications of
misprogramming a video card.

One of the last things said relates to competitors building the same card
and being smarter programmers.

I would be willing to bet that ANY experienced video board engineer can
know a Diamond board as well as Diamond does in just a few weeks.

Diamond may be keeping tech info from the public, but they are keeping
NOTHING from their competitors.
