Yea, I'd agree it's pretty steep. That was last time I checked, 6 months ago or so. I guess it's not really my business, I just wrote the driver. I'm not sure off-hand why you'd want to DMA from an MPEG playback card to a video card. It will do VGA overlays, with any video card. The overlay goes via the VGA feature connector, not running through the IO bus. I think the Tailsman works the same way, but I haven't looked at it for a while. > >Pete eric. -- erich@rrnet.com http://rrnet.com/~erich erich@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~erich erich@lodgenet.com
