He said he is working on putting out a programmers resource kit that covers all of this. STB is just now releasing sub-$250 boards that use a new chip from S3 (forget the number). It's their new low-end chip that supports DRAM. Also, the have new higher end boards that use the '924 and have BNC connectors as well as DIN. The new STB S3 boards now have 24bit modes. ------------ Bailey Brown "Above all else, confusion reigns." Intergraph Corporation bbrown@casca.b11.ingr.com Procol Harum
