	Looks like mine is in the 2nd to last pci slot, that is, one slot
removed from the ISA slot (or is it slots?). Visually, at least, I've got
a 4 port ethernet controller in the shared slot right above the sound
card (old AWE32 Gold), and the WinTV right above the ethernet card. 

	The BP6 has been the best motherboard I've owned bar none. The
only thing that bothers me about it is that while I've been using UW scsi
for main storage I've been considering getting a big cheap udma66 drive to
archive mp3's and whatnot, and I hear the HPT366 ide chip doesn't get
along with some brands (maxtor for instance).

	That's what i do. You might also want to get alan's errata patches
for 2.2.16. you can find his stuff at www.linux.org.uk

	I *think* my habit has been to enable V4L in the kernel and then
compile bttv separately. Don't recall for sure what i did last. And
chances are it doesn't make a difference. (I used to have V4L enabled
in the kernel anyway, to support an ISA radio tuner in the system)
