I had it up and running in I was somewhat *startled* to discover that the drivers for Windows 98 and Windows ME both had substantial problems. I sent the card back to ATI for replacement when the first card wouldn't initialize the BIOS. They were very good, actually, about troubleshooting the card, and about getting me another card. That *really* surprised me, given the bad experiences I had in the past. > Linux 8.2, but it is was just flat erratic and unstable. Support for ATI > sucks big time. Ever try to call those folks?

After getting this card working with xawtv earlier this evening, and after consideration of what praise you gave for Hauppage cards, I may simply get a Hauppage card for my own use. The guy whose system now has a working ATI card is happy, and now that I've had a bit of experience with xawtv and the interfaces involved, I'm feeling a lot more confident about it. > I fairness I think the worst thing is their drivers, but who knows. Good > luck man. Thanks. The ATI card is working, although perhaps not as well as I'd like it tow work. However, I think for my own use, I'm simply going to go get a Hauppage card and see how that works out.
