Bt848 PCI driver. The README file has the contact info for getting programming information for the Bt848 chipset. 2. grabber-meteor.cc which is a replacement for vic-2.8's grabber-meteor.c. This version will work with a meteor or a bt848 based cards. 3. dtv a sample application which displays captured frames directly on the vga's display buffer -- you will need a vga card which presents a linear frame buffer additionally dtv will only work with XFree86. dtv supports color depths of 15bits or 32bits. If you have an S3 968 check out dtv with a resolution of 640x480 32bits 8) The driver has been tested on a P100 Triton chipset and a PPRO 200MHz Natoma chipset. My Bt848 based card is the "Intel Smart Video Recorder III" A couple of hackers have reported success with Hauppages's WinCast/TV which is a Bt848 based video card. WinCast/TV is cheaper than the Intel card plus it has much better driver support in Win95. ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/bt848-0.2.tar.gz Have fun, Amancio
