Took a few rounds a few years ago.

Mom had stroke, this year I discovered serious heart disease.

Appreciate the kind words.

I've been trying to re-engage but health is taking priority.

I probably still have a HDD image somewhere.

AI has taken a look at the JVC images and it may be over confident but has put forth some plausible ideas to pursue. Its just a matter of getting time to feed it more slices of the drive images. It says they are not encrypted which was the line we would never cross, decrypting encrypted hard drives.

The ATI TV Wonder USB2 device, AI was able to pieces together a possible user space device driver from old documents I had on the Registers of the Theater 200 chip design. It was also able to come up with an OBS shim device driver to present it as a capture source and a shim for Directshow for other software. - i don't know if i can carry this over the line.

I've friends Son who just graduated University in Canada who might take up some of this. Its not for certain, he's looking for a job so he might stay with me a while and we might tinker with this stuff a little. But he's a fresh graduate so an old mans curiosities may not strike the right chord.

I do log in from time to time.. but I have to make hard choices about where I spend my time these days.

I'm sorry to hear that. You and I have very similar circumstances, we're at that age.

But it was really nice to hear from you, even if briefly.
