Point taken. At any rate, Isaac has agreed to take a look and test it out, so Plextor is sending him a unit, and where we go from there depends on what he thinks. (I don't see it as so much of a "gift" though -- having MythTV support the ConvertX would be as much of a benefit to Plextor as to the project and the community.) Now would be a good time to point out to everybody that I don't work directly for Plextor, so what I say shouldn't be interpreted as Plextor policy or anything. But they're good guys and want to support the community, so I'm trying to help them do that. -Nathan
