Here's one I haven't seen asked yet:

Will the Saturn joypads on the Diamond card work only with the 3-D
accelerated games made for the card?  Or will there be a device driver to
allow *any* PC game to use the Saturn joypad?

It's not a pressing question since there's a standard joyport on there
anyway, but I'm curious nonetheless.

Hey, I just thought of something else.  The card has two Saturn joyports and
one PC joyport, right?  Plus a jack for the monitor cable...That's a lot of
ports to fit on the back of one card!  How are they going to fit all of
that on there?  And unless it pumps its sound FX to another sound card
(which it may, I don't know) there needs to be line out jacks for speakers
as well.  Can anyone clear this up for me?
