The Bt848 driver is part of the FreeBSD system and populars apps such as fxtv (tv viewer ) and "vic", an mbone broadcast tool, can be easily installed thru our port mechanism which I am more than happy to walk you thru if you run FreeBSD. I wrote the Bt848 driver from scratch by reading the Bt848 databooks and our system interface was modelled after the matrox meteor driver (another FreeBSD video capture driver for Phillips based chipset cards such as the Matrox Meteor). After the initial driver deployment several FreeBSD hackers have volunteer like adding support for tuners, bug fixes, driver enhancements well by know they have literally rewritten the driver however the original architecture is pretty much intact. We *don't* have any software for Win95 nor drivers and I know enough about Win95 and FreeBSD drivers. Good Luck!!
