As I understand it VAT requires full-duplex audio, and only the GUS/PAS 
driver does that?  I've not tried yet, but I did move my GUS from my 
MS-DOG machine to my test FBSD machine last night...

Does ANYONE have a frame grabber running on FreeBSD???  I have an Intel 
Smart Video card; I tried to get Intel to part with programming 
information but the techno-droid that I talked to told me it was their 
"policy" that they only supported Windoze and they didn't give out 
register information.  It promised the board's product manager-droid would 
contact me, but after repeated attempts to followup (getting nowhere) I 
gave up.   I also have a ComputerEyes/RT board; they sent (well, 
sold...) me their developer's kit which I received yesterday; I plan to 
see if I can get something working in the next few weeks (unless someone 
else has already done so????? :{)

Thanks,

Mike
