The Smart Video Recorder III  is the new intel PCI video capture board which
lists for $200 and it is supposed to work with the Pentium PRo.
The card has one chipset the BrookTree 848 8)

What I am wondering is if any one is working on a device driver for 
the card? If so please let me know. 


I just got the databook for the BrookTree 848 and  I am thinking about
writing a device driver for the card. From what I can tell the hardest part
is going to be to write a program to control the dma risc engine.
Unlike traditional dma chipset dma instructions the 848 executes
dma by running a dma program from the host's memory. 

At any rate, it looks like a nice video capture board and it is cheap.

	Enjoy,
	Amancio
