WINCAST DRIVER V1.42B RELEASED
Abbotsbury Software in conjunction with Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc
has released version 1.42B of the WinCast TV driver set. The package
is available from:
http://www.os2tv.com/downloads.phtml
Download "wcast.zip". Use minstall to do a full install. If you are
at driver level 1.142A you may want to download the wcast.sys file
only. However I did make a small change in the DiveTV application for
those of you who are using the "CD pass thru" feature of the board. If you
are using DiveTV and the CD pass thru you may want to grab the full package.
This release fixes:
- a "no sound" problem on 56XXX stereo boards.
- CD pass thru disabled on system reboot.
- Correctly routes the back panel video input (Composite) to OS/2's
Ext-1 input.
This release of the driver should enable all of the basic features of
the Hauppauge PCI TV cards (848 / 878 based, not DTV). We will now
turn our attention to improving video quality.
For those of you who have not yet installed a TV card in your OS/2
system I would like to point out that the Hauppauge "WinTV Go" is
selling for about US $49! Not bad when you consider the fact that IBM
developed a TV application back in the early 90's even though the
cards sold for almost $400.
For more information, see the July issue of the
VOICE Newsletter. I'm
told that it will contain a review of the WinCast driver and WinTV Go.
