It is an ISA plug-in card, which, however, only connects to power and ground. It connects via a private cable to an ATI card with an "AMC" (ATI Media Connector). The tuner is a Philips can that looks just like the Temic/Philips tuners on the cards you've been developing for. But since the interface to them must be ATI proprietary, a FreeBSD driver for the ATI TV tuner would take a lot of 'investigating'... > Also, try to consider the Bt848 based cards such as WinCast TV which we > do support rather nicely. > If I was buying a board to use with FreeBSD, I'd go with one of those (Bt848-based cards) [I already have a TV next to my FreeBSD machine :-)] Gary
