Aha!  Well, that certainly explains the (otherwise) complete lack of response.
The amusing thing is, I've been using QNX 4 and it supports the TV-Out of the
old RAGE II just fine.  QNX has, therefore, found its way into settop box
configurations, and other TV-output applications that have nothing to do
with Macrovision :-)

In any event, thanks much for the info and pointers; appreciate it!

Cheers,
