Hmm, quick followup, I've just been looking at the images more closely and the top two (on the image) 878A chips appear to have tracks coming out of the GPIO pins. Top chip has a "few" from pins 56 to 61 (GPIO23-18) that look to go via the 74HCT245 to the connector on the end of the card (not sure what thats for though...) 2nd from top chip appears to have a "lot" of it's GPIO pins connected up, pins 56-61 and pins 67 to 82 so GPIO 4 - GPIO 23. Which possibly come up and connect to the unmarked chip... Doesn't get me any further in making the card work, but hopefully it helps you guys a bit :-) I've tried Kodicom driver again (http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Kodicom_4400R) with the "master card" id=132 in all possible positions - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, but no success. I still just get the bttv: 0: timeout: drop=0 irq=643/644, risc=06470000, bits: VSYNC HSYNC errors in dmesg. Rob.
