Liquid Magma hot for me. I'm going to the bay area this weekend so I can actually swing by the store and save myself on shipping. My roomie will probably thank me; I built him an old-school compy with a few ISA ports, and he has no TV.

Software and Stuff (A.K.A. Surplus Computers) is a good place. I snagged a 10.5" LCD from them a while ago. I'm still using it.

Maybe if you are lucky you could get it to work with dscaler. I am unsure if it would support such an old chipset or a card on an ISA bus though...

//krunk (^_^x)

 

[chibchakan]

ISA????

Even if you have an old motherboard with ISA slots, if you have XP the ISA slot will not work no matter what.

 

[chewyboy]

nice deal, at least it's not microchannel

That's rarely an issue since I have yet to see a mobo with ISA slots that can support a fast enough processor to run XP. Or enough RAM.

My roomie's compy runs 2000 and 98. Both OSes recognize the AWE 32 and the ISA scanner card.

Unfortunately getting this card means I'll have to either take out the AWE 32 or the scanner.

I used to use a 440BX2 motherboard with P3 500mhz (slot 1). It had 2 ISA slots. WIth 768mb of RAM, it ran XP Pro just fine. XP recognized a US Robotics 56K ISA modem as well.

I've seen a few P3 boards that have ISA slots.

whoa.... isa, that old school. Its hard to believe isa can provide enough bandwidth to support a tv card

 

[jst0ney]

I miss ISA cards. You really fell like a man installing a huge card like that.

 

[sumrtym]

I think my oldest computer has some of those slots. It was on the long-lived VESA bus if I remember correctly.

 

[Justus]

Whoa! I've actually got a Transcend TS-AKT4 board with an open ISA slot that runs at 200 fsb and can take an AMD T'bird up to 1400. Time to make it a HTPC?

 

[BigPlastic]

Finally, a use for that empty ISA slot on my P-233MMX Biostar M5TTB board! Thanks, OP. I think.

I guess it would be ok for watching tv, but don't expect to do any serious capturing with it.

Video clip capture - Save live video at 320x240 at up to 15-24 frames per second. (Actual save capability is determined by the speed of the PC and the hard disk drive.) Creates Microsoft Video for Windows compatible AVI files in a compressed YUV format. Note: Video clip capture is not supported under WindowsNT

I use a 3Com ISA modem on my P3C-L loaded only with XP. It works just fine and I connect at 50K most of the time. Where are you coming up with this stuff? I even tested ISA sound cards on it. If WINDOWS XP does not support the TV tuner that's a whole different situation, but don't commit that fallacy that XP doesn't support ISA at all.

 

[SimMike2]

Where ISA probably won't work is with non Plug and Play devices. PNP ISAs will probably work, especially if you have at least Windows 2000 drivers. This card is PNP, but I didn't see any drivers at the provided link. If I bought something like this, it would probably go in my nieces computer which still uses Windows 98.

 

[dimwit]

Sorry, my bad. I meant XP will not support non-PnP ISA devices.

Got one with the firewire card, hope it comes...

 

[Rumpltzer]

My FIC 503+ motherboard (running a K6-2 550) that I was using until just last week has 3 ISA slots. With great regret, I've just decommissioned my ISA SoundBlaster16 sound card...

It will. This is a very reputable company. I have ordered from them in the past without problems. Just ordered a ECS P6IWP-Fe Socket 370 ATX Motherboard .
