Sorry for the delay in response. I've been hassling with my vendor now for over a month on this issue and he just can't seem to find anything that meets these criteria. Supposedly the AOpen AWE37 has been discontinued and is out of stock, and the same with the Hauppauge card...they supposedly don't sell or stock anything with the bt848 chipset. I'm sick of my vendor as well. Can any one point me to a specific set of video/sound that will get me going? Also if you have a favored vendor where I can get these parts I'd be greatly indebted. Thank you, -chris On Tue, Dec 08, 1998 at 12:14:14AM -0500, Daniel McRobb wrote: > Just about any camera will do as long as it spits out what you need to > plug it into your Hauppauge card.
