I would have responded sooner is just that tv did a number on my
system:
Oct  1 00:33:01 rah /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): timed out in dataout phase, SCSISIGI
 == 0x0
Oct  1 00:32:49 rah /kernel: meteor0: capture error: odd FIFO overflow.
Oct  1 00:33:01 rah /kernel: sd0(ahc0:0:0): timed out in dataout phase, SCSISIGI
 == 0x0

I managed to generate that by saving images to disk..
So if you are using the Matrox Meteor or the OmniMedia P1SC with a PPRO 200mhz
and a Natoma chipset you are taking your chances with the system.

BTW: Jordan I know that you are trying to help ...
