Yes, but which WinTV GO card? Another option I've discovered is a Linux\Windows compatible PS/2 emulator, but it is only beta quality software. Still, maybe I should be looking for an adapter for the PS/2 game pads so I can plug them into standard USB on a PC directly. There are many WinTV GO cards made by hauppauge, all of them slightly different. I'm wondering if emulation is good enough to forgo trying to acquire the correct tv tuner card when I'm not after tv or video editing anyways? Unless I'm not shopping in the right place, I'm looking at around $30 shipped to get a WinTV GO card and that doesn't take into account that I need adapters for the stereo jacks to accomodate RCA. Of all the options available there is a third slightly expensive option of buying a special device that allows me to plug my play station II into a VGA monitor directly. I've stepped back from trying to purchase a different Hauppauge card as I'm not confident that I know enough and the price doesn't seem all that great. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
