Someone also warned me about the possibility of damaging the board
by improperly setting the dot clock. This doesn't seem possible to
me, but then again I don't know what Diamond's engineers had in mind
when they designed the board. Has anyone out there been able to set
the clock on the Stealth? If so, I would like to know if there is
anything special that needs to be done, or if it can just be set as per
the specs from S3. Thanks in advance.
