ftp://rah.star-gate.com/bt848.tar.gz I would also check out Hauppage's WinCast Tv which also has a tuner which is currently not supported however various hackers have expressed keen interest in supporting . A couple of things about the Win95 Bt848 drivers, they differ first of. You really want one which can provide "overlay" that is PCI to PCI transfer and also support for different video formats. The Intel Smart Video Recorder III driver is very limited: o no "overlay" capability o supports only YUV9 and RGB24 Me, I am stuck with the Intel Smart Video Recorder III which is great for writing a driver since it only has a single chip --- the Bt848.
