cliff did ask bob an involved and technical question:
I'm looking for any updated drivers for the Reveal TV 500 card or any information on who made these cards for reveal. I'm also looking for Technical specs on how to program the chip sets on the card. My drivers I have now are over a year old (Past the date they went out of business). I have searched the net but cannot locate any of the information I need. If you can help please write me at cliff@internx.net.
Thankfully for cliff Bob know as NetPigeon knew the solution
There is a way to download the technical specs from the card:
You'll find, at either the Harder Side of Sears (tm) or K-mart, some heavy duty jumper cables. Also required are an EKG machine, a FAQ wielding cow-orker, and a steady supply of 440v AC.
Attach the ground of the jumper cables to the back of the card. Attach the red clip to a randomly selected resistor.
Next, in the finest A-Team/McGuyver (sp?) fashion, attach the other end of the jumper cables to the main power feeding the EKG. Be sure it is attached ahead of any transformers bringing the voltage down - you'll need the whole 440 for this to work properly.
In fact, just remove any transformers all together - you'll need the entire voltage for both connections you'll make; wire the juice directly to the sensitive EKG electronics.
Jack yourself in with the EKG - shaving your scalp is a good idea, as it improves the accuracy of reception of the technical specs. Apply as many electrodes as you can. Next, jelly up the Reveal TV 500, and grip it firmly between your ass cheeks.
The last step involves a suitably grounded co-worker (preferably one who has read the FAQ) to plug in your apparatus. Once plugged in, the download should happen immediately. Just don't pass out - your flash RAM will not store the specs. Should you feel burning, or smell sizzling flesh, do not be alarmed. Wait until all parameters have been transferred. You're done when you see red.
Repeat as indicated,
