Hi, my question is just a little out of topic, but anyway of interest. I 'm having a CX23880 card (TV-card) on a Via Chipset (Northbridge is VT8601A) and tried to do a read() call on the device, but the system freezes totally -until you hot-unplug the card. The same error doesn't occur if you use the same card with an PIII Intel System. Analyzing the signals by oscilloscope, many STOP# signals can be seen. As I have just a beginners' knowledge about PCI-bus, I just have several questions about it: 1. Does the TV-Card become PCI Bus Master ? 2. What can be the reasons of this freeze ? TIA, Franz
