I have just put together a canopus DVrex-M1 Plus Canon XL-1 Mini DVCam on
MS NT 4.0 (SP4) PII300 128MegRam.
Its the best thing I ever did. Except for the AU$900 DUal Pentium II Asus
board I blew up first attempt at installing the Rex card, the thing worked
first go (after replacing the MB with a temp LX and re-installing NT -
Again). I tried the Boris FX plug in for Premiere 5.1, and baby did she
BOOM. After spending 2 years wasting time with a REALMagic MPEG-1 board, I
bit the bullet and spent the bucks. Lots of research. And WOW, what a
result.
Listen to these guys.
