Hello Maurice.

Hmmm ... unless I get reports of leave it alone from here or the Linux lists I 
subscribe to ...

Don't check out everbody either, I don't have the time for that, when they are 
open that is ..., want too find out what the cards a few places here have 
advertised here recently are .... , not too expensive either ...

Hmmm .... <grin> almost there ...

 MK> I really, really, really like that.

Don't have any grief with them either, even in XFCE or KDE, they do fine ...

 RT>> Currently got one channel, in black and white, no sound with
 RT>> PAL-Nc :-)

 MK> I don't see why a regular vcr can't be used as input as well as a

Except, I currently don't have a regular VCR to play with ... , not yet ...

Seems that Linux does not know which card it is, that is what I suspect, will 
see what it involves in telling linux manually which card is in there, and see 
if that improves things ...

 MK> Also Paul told me yesterday that Win98 has major issues with a FM
 MK> tuner.  I have a plan there that I am going to try later once the
 MK> 'new' board is primed up and ready for action.

Well years ago, I had a FM tuner (AimsLab) that worked real neat ... worked in 
Linux as well when the drivers where compiled properly ...
