- Comments:
- This is one of several Aria-based boards, but it
is becoming difficult to find. Note that I've received one report of
new problems with an Aria board under Warp 4.0 that didn't exist
under Warp 3.0.
MMK4000

- Chipset:
- CS4248 (?), OPTi 929

MPU-401 driver needed for wavetable
- Drivers from:
- BBS, OS/2 ftp: 929_v2.zip or opti928.zip
- Comments:
- This is a multimedia kit which contains a card based upon the OPTi
928 chipset. I've received one report of a problem with this board and
a "CH-498B" motherboard's AMI BIOS "Extended RAM Area" option; the default
of "0:300" caused system traps, but resetting it to "DOS-1K" fixed this
problem.
MMK7000
- Type:
- ??
- Chipset:
- ??
- CD-ROM:

- Street price:

at http://www.diamondmm.com
- Comments:
- This is a multimedia kit about which I know very little, except that
drivers do exist and reportedly do work, at least under Warp 3.0. The one
report I've seen on this emphasizes the importance of following the driver
installation instructions to the letter, however.
