HDTV Wonder and ATI 9200

[Guest]

Quick question--I am still running the 9200 but received the HDTV
Wonder from a friend. The instructions say that "supported" cards
start at 9500. Does anyone know offhand if it would even be worth it
to TRY and get this running? Would HDTV be accessible at all?

Thanks.

It will not work. The 9200 is only DirectX 8.1 compatible, while the HDTV
Wonder requires DirectX 9 or higher.
You do not have the DirectX 9 video overlay capability needed to view the
picture.

Hmmm... You can read, can't you? The answer is, no.

You’ve answered my question...and saved me a lot of grief and hair
pulling.

Thanks!
