Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Fri, 17 Jan 1997 04:04:07 -0800 From: Amancio Hasty Sender: owner-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The bt848 driver is for the Intel Smart Video Recorder III PCI board whose only chipset is the Brooktree Bt848. The driver is in pretty good shape right now. I have tv working and vic working with the bt848 driver. Whats left is to clean up the code and do a short write up on the ioctls implemented, and test furthermore the driver for about a week to ensure that there are no real nasty hardware bugs . If all goes well not this Friday but the next one I will release the driver. So folks don't buy any Smart Video Recorders III for FreeBSD till I finished testing the hardware. Enjoy, Amancio
