Sounds like your dealer is stalling.  The diagnostic program, and not the
card, is faulty??  Right...

The OrchidProDesigner II (ET4000 based) is specifically spec'ed to run
at 8, 10, and 12MHz bus speeds.  I'm sure there are others.  I'm running
one at 12 right now.  No problems, but there's a jumper which needed to be
yanked to eliminate a minor glitch.

I'd be quite surprised if there are any ET4000s that run *faster* than 12...
