I thought the PVR 500 is OEM only, or not? > Are there any datasheets available? After this week, I'll start poking > around in the code... anything else I should be thinking about? The driver should be the same as the one for the PVR 150 (I think it should just look like two PVR 150 cards), so the status of the PVR 150 applies to the PVR 500 as well (see other threads). I can send you datasheets if you'll like to develop for the PVR 150/500. > Is there a way to monitor hardware registers, etc. in Windows? or perhaps > using VMware? -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
