That board is based on a chipset from Chips&Technology with additional chips from Phillips connected with a I2C bus. I once programmed stuff for boards like these. Wrote for example a software decoder for the Videotext. The last revision of the boards I know, didn't worked good with digital mix, as it didn't had fast enough ADC stuff for this. Because of this most boards are done with an analog mixing, which results in a bad quality. > >Amancio, any resemblance with the Intel board you have ? > > Luigi >-----------------------------+-------------------------------------- >Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione >email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa >tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) >fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ >_____________________________|______________________________________ > Ulf. ----------------------------------------------------------- Alameda Networks, Inc. | Ulf Zimmermann (ulf@Alameda.net) 1525 Pacific Avenue | Phone: (510)769-2936 Alameda, CA 94501 | Fax : (510)521-5073
