NOTE!: I'd fix the spelling, but every time I do X dies on me.. This machine is
very,, very unsable now under X, spealy when I'm replying to e-mail.. I promis
this will get better as I lean to spell and after I can relyable run the
checker.. In the meigntime.. Sorry.. :(

(Retypeing this a second time because &&#@$ X segfaulted and I lost the first
copy)

Thank you very mutch for that, the effot is apresiated.. :)

After phoneing up the local AKAI
repair/parts/manuals place and descovering that they don't even know the
VC-90E existed, I just dismantled the camra, and 1/2 hour of traceing wires and
PCB tracks, I now have the correct pinouts and as I'm typeing this, re-makeing
the DoDgY testing lead I was useing into something I'll be proud to show off
despite it's low-end-ness.. (Old, pre CCD, Valve image tube:)..

Now, as soon as I can get my bt878 tuner card, X and the S3Trio64 working
together (I know it's a problem that in some cases has been fixed, but I can't
get it working..), and work out why in the nameof hadyes my machine is SO
unstable hardware wise, I'll have a Vidio4Linux demo for all the impresionable
newbies.. :)

Does anyone have a S3Virge(2+MB) or better(PCI, not AGP) they could
loan/give/sell me for the InstallFest? I know that card works well with this
tuner..
