Mike You may not have noticed one of my messages a week or two ago, but it said that 3 different DPS offices have tested the IBM Ultrastar 4.51 Gig drive part # 94G3196 and found it to be unsuitable for use with the PVR at 5 Meg/sec or higher. Apparently, IBM rates this drive as having a sustained transfer rate of between 5.5 & 7.4 Meg/sec from the center of the drive to its outside edges. DPS says it does not meet that in their tests & it is not on their approved drive list. If you find out whether there is a problem with the Matrox Millennium card working with the PVR under Windows NT, please let me know what it is & the solution if any. Yesterday, Dave White from Matrox claimed he had heard nothing about a problem between these cards & I still haven't received an answer back from DPS Kentucky.
