Howdy,

The matrox meteor is in high demand and sometimes hard to get.

If you are interested in buying a matrox meteor PCI video capture board for
FreeBSD . You can order one from:

Computer Modules, Inc,
2350 Walsh Avenue,
Santa Clara, Ca. 95051
(408) 496- 1881

I bought my meteor for $533 from them and that includes tax...


They should have a few Meteors in stock. If you do order one please mention
FreeBSD . It does help !!!

Computer Modules also has a small ccd camera which they sell for $150.
I got no clue as to how well it works. For a video camera , I bought
a Sony Handycam video hi8 CCD-TR100 and it cost me $1000.

Last but not least the Matrox Meteor will not work with the 
Neptune chipset you need a motherboard with a Triton chipset.
My motherboard is an ASUS with a Triton chipset and a P100.

The card / driver works very well and I am having a ball with audio
videoconferencing 8) Oh, in video conferencing you don't have to 
use the silly symbol "8)" .  


	
	Lights, Camera, Take one!
