I believe this depends on the PCI bus structure; the bt878 chip needs to be in a bus-master capable slot, and the number of busmasters in a PCI bus is limitied. Most cards with 4 bt878 chips have their own pci bridge on board to avoid these problems. Another limiting factor is the maximum possible throughput over the PCI bus; you can put a lot of chips in your PC, but with them all capturing your images will be totally distorted and unusable. /Ico -- :wq ^X^Cy^K^X^C^C^C
