When we cycle through all combinations in one minute, there are about a hundred PCI cycles per combination left for the chip to be granted access to the bus. I expect most of the pins to provide a priority or weighting value for each BT878A, so there should be many combinations that do something. > >If we had the original software, we could analyze what it is doing. > >There is someone on ebay.com selling two of those cards and a cd > >labled "Rescue Disk Version 1.14 for Linux DVR". > > Ah yes, I've just found that, it seems a little pricey!

It's the same card but it is not the Avermedia 4 Eyes Pro.
