While we're on the subject of non-working bt878 cards, My Intel based
system (P4) has no trouble with the bt878 until I stick in two of them.
This causes some sort of trouble on the bus as I start to see hicups on the
video card and eventually throughput from the bt878 cards and to the video
card breaks down (sometimes I even get "ERR" messages in the logs from the
bttv driver). All the cards have their own interrupts.
Yeah, I've bothered the list about this before but still haven't
gotten an answer and the problem is driving me nuts.
