I found in my computer parts box a STB Systems card, that looks like it is a
tv tuner/video capture card.
It has a coxial jack, a 3.5mm headphone-style jack, what appears to be a dc
connection jack that would accept a barrell type DC adaptor hookup, s-video
jack, and composite video rca jack. It is copyright 1996 by STB Systems. The
tuner box on the card says Temic Front End 4032 FY5 on it. It also has a Bt
Bt848kpf chip on it, and two connections for cd-audio cable, that might have
been a convience connection, when soundcards just had one cd-audio input. As
one is CD IN, and the other is AUDIO OUT.
The stickers on back say:
Sticker #1:
210-0242-001 (Also imprinted on circuit board on back)

Sticker #2:
STB Systems Inc. Model Number
FCC Tested to Comply with FCC Standards
For Home or Office Use Only

Sticker #3:
1x0-0451-001
18 43/1996 4T0(larger and bolder type)

Can anyone tell me exactly what this is, and what it's purpose is? Is it ISA
or PCI? It looks PCI to me, but I haven't plugged it into my computer yet.
And where I might find drivers for it? STB was bought by the now-defunct
3dFx.

Thank you all,
Mark

I have a couple more for you if you want them <g>! I have been totally
unable to find drivers for these for XP: I don't believe this card was
supported beyond W98.

It is a TV Tuner card that with the proper software can display TV in a
window or full screen on your computer. An old (1997) Toshiba model 7231
computer that I had used it. Mine had FM radio as well. Since then, I've ran
across two or three others...which are still as you said "found in my
computer parts box".

Don't know if this is helpful, but 3dfx was merged
into nVidia. However, I did find these;

I'll take them. I'm putting together some old computers for people who
don't have much money and they'd be fine in there as they'll be win98
systems anyway.
