It all depends on how old your Speedstar is. (I forget what BIOS rev is the
cutoff point.) Lars' Speedstar 24 is probably MUCH newer than your Speedstar.
Lars, I'm not sure about where in Europe to get them, but in the USA, you can
look for the following files:
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/X11/X-servers/diamond.taz
tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin.X11/stealth-fix.tar.Z
Both have been know to program the proprietary Diamond Clock Synthesizer. Both
are based on Frank Klemm's code from his SpeedStar 24X.
