Guess I committed a foul? I found out the name by donating. Even Google doesn't turn up an answer! GB-PVR must be alien technology from Area 51 :eek:

Thanks, I did a search of the forums but didn't use good search terms.

Sounds how I develop software, want it done right and done better, so dive in and just do it. I'm a details guy, probably comes from always doing x86 Assembly programming. I was a bit player in the PC demo scene in the early 90s doing HW VGA level programming. Now I write BIOS for unreleased Intel chipsets. It's an amazing amount of code that goes into that little flash chip to initialize your PC before you get bloated Microsoft OS, or the much nicer Linux.

Hmmm, guess you'll be out of work when the bios gets obsolete and EFI takes over....:confused:
