If you have a Diamond video card, you may notice that there are no Diamond video drivers listed in Windows NT Setup even though several Diamond adapters are listed on the hardware compatibility list. This is because the video drivers are based on the chip set, not the particular adapter. This is also true for other video adapters. The following is a table of Diamond adapters and their drivers by chip set:

   Diamond Name             Driver Name
   -------------------------------------
   Speedstar                Tseng ET4000
   Speedstar 24X            WD/Paradise
   Speedstar Pro VLB        Cirrus
   Stealth                  S3
   Stealth Pro              S3
