I was uncertain if the following is too commercial for the FreeBSD-announce mailing list, but on the other hand, things that promote the use and value of FreeBSD seem like a good thing too. So if this is too commercial for the list you can let me know at brian@mediacity.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Talisman Sequence P1S $299 PCI Video Capture Card based on Phillips 7110/7116/7196 chipset The Sequence P1S is a "matrox meteor"-like video capture card for the PCI BUS.
