Most likely. But you probably want to ask whether X11 will run on it.
You better check the Xfree86 docs for that one. Early Diamonds
were not supported because Diamond refused to release specs without an
NDA. They seem to have changed this policy now so you need the 
Xfree docs for a definitive answer.
