I've double checked it 1.5 years ago and found no support for the 
semi-active cards Eicon Diva Pro (ISA) and Eicon Diva Pro PCI (neither 
V2.0 boards or not). I wanted to use a Diva Pro PCI 2.0 but due to the 
lack of support am having now a Fritz PCI 2.0 in use.

The problem with the semi-active Eicon cards is (that's what I've been 
told) the code for the DSP which has to be loaded into the board. This 
code is closed source and so we will never see any Diva Pro support as 
long as policies doesn't change.

HTH,

Volker
