- WARNINGS:
-
- I just got my WinTV card (its been on order for 3 weeks) and I was
- unpleasantly surprised at:
-
- 1. You have to order the video input cable as an Option (costs extra).
-
- 2. IT WILL NOT WORK (for video capture and other stuff) UNLESS YOU HAVE
- <15 MBYTES OF MEMORY (ISA strikes again), which is kind of hard to do
- when you only have 4x 4Mb sims (16Mbytes).
-
- 3. It might not work with the ATI Graphics Ultra (I didn't get a picture,
- just a purple window and sound, but that might have been due to problem 2),
- I used the vga pass through cable, because the Ultra doesn't have a feature
- connecter, and I did try it with the MS VGA driver, the ATI 640x480x16/256
- driver and the 800x600x16/256 driver.
