Will do tomorrow. I formatted my NTFS disk today after loosing a few
hours trying to install the WDM driver on the NT5 beta. Even with all
necessary files (;-)) I could not get it to work. Tomorrow and the
following days will try the vidcap driver for Win95 and the WDM driver
for Memphis.

I will let you know how it goes. For now I can say that the Meteor
driver does not show these steps on FreeBSD.

Cheers

	Thomas
