PCI-X is backwards compatible with 32-bit 33MHz PCI. Often true, but TV cards still need 5V PCI. I have a DVB-t card that works fine in a PCI-X slot, and it looks like the more recent (2388x based) Hauppage cards should also work. What about v4l cards? The old-fashioned analog signal? Exactly what I said above: http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_pcifm.html You can tell it's a 3.3v card because it's got an two notches in the PCI connector. Paul This is new information for me, and very useful. Can someone confirm a tv-grabber card working in analog mode on a PCI-X bus? I need NTSC cards and I'm pretty much limited to saa713x, as I have to be able to pull audio directly off the card and to do closed captioning (bt878 might work but cx88 won't).

Are you sure? The cx2833x chips are the successor to the bt878.

I'd like to take this opportunity to grovel, however -- Paul is right, there are PCI-X compatible cards, and I'm both embarrassed and delighted to confess my own LifeView FlyVideo-3000FM fits right in; I'll run tests later. I'm thrilled to discover this now and not after spending thousands on equipment. Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any such card will kick that particular PCI-X segment back to 33 MHz operation, so think before you plug - if your main storage adapter happens to be on the same segment, that'll do no good. regards, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
