January 20th, 1999 Calling and mailing Diamond Multimedia's Techsupport, because my Monster Fusion 3DFX arrived yesterday, but as yet doesn't work (as opposed to my brand new Ilyama 21" monitor, haha). Problem definition below. If anybody knows the solution, that somebody will make me a very happy man. Sitrep: Diamond tells me the IRQ must not be 9, but 10, 11 or 12, Hastec, importers for Diamond in the Netherlands, inform me that the Monster Fusion will not work with the Cyrix processor - but might, using the newest Voodoo Banshee drivers from http://www.3dfx.com/. Meanwhile, the vendor suggests changing the enabled/disabled setting for the VGA IRQ in the BIOS. All of this I will try tonight... And the winner is... Hastec, because the reference drivers worked where all other counsel failed. Honours go to the vendor, whose suggestion was dubbed 'nicest idea' by my good neighbour Bert.
