I think you're right - I found some pictures on the web of that card that look like mine. Certainly it's got the Phillip's tuner and Bt878. I'll have to take a look at the card to see what the audio chip actually is - it may be misidentifying it. > I have one in an athlon at work. Got it for $29 on > ebay. Not bad. Incidently I just checked e-bay for Win98 CDs as a way around the Win95 driver problem, as was amused to see that they're all being sold with garbage "as is" hard drives or motherboards per Microsoft's legal requirements. I'm surprised they don't insist it comes with a barf bag. > The differences between the OEM version and the retail version appear > to have been purely analog (the missing line-in jack), so you could try > looking on STB/3DFX/nVidia's sites for DesktopTV drivers. Unfortunately nVidia appeares to have abandoned support for the older stuff. Looks like I'm going to have to borrow a win98 install CD just to be able to get a working driver. I'm sure that's OK under fair use law :-) Thanks for your help. Ben
