I've had two cards playing streams while building a kernel on a P75. It should support more, but I've never had enough cards to test it thoroughly. I wrote the driver for it and I've been trying to get permission to release it but haven't heard anything back from the politicians here. I've got access to an Optibase card, but no programming info. I've been told that we're getting a Tailsman to compare. I've also been told that I'm getting MPEG-2 cards from Toshiba and Visual Circuits in the next couple of months. I should be able to build a FreeBSD video file server in the not so distant future... Just how stable is ccd? eric. -- erich@lodgenet.com http://rrnet.com/~erich erich@rrnet.com
