7.14 ESCOM 486dx2/66 - which board?

Works perfect except the ftape-streamer (archive)

7.15 J-Bond with i486dx2/66

Drew Eckhardt (drew at kinglear.cs.Colorado.EDU) uses Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM with 4M of memory (964 based). It works great, he usualy runs it at 1024x768 72hz in 32bpp; 16 and 8bpp also work. He needed to get the X311u2S3.tgz server from ftp.xfree86.org; people with 968 based Diamond boards will definately need to do this.
