                            3.What is the restriction of DV export with CBFW1 ?
                              On some laptops, CBFW1(RSDVCap) can not export DV video file to DVCAM properly. This restriction is caused by CardBus Bridge chip
                              and BIOS setting of the laptop computer. As some CardBus Bridge chip does not support memory read cycle burst data transfer with default
                              BIOS setting, a lot of video frames may drop at exporting to DVCAM. We do and will provide setup utility driver to improve this data transfer
                              capability. Please refer following notes.

                              You can check your CardBus bridge chip at Device Manager window. Open Device Manager window and double click "PCMCIA socket"
                              i-con. Read out CardBus Bridge chip name and refer follows.

                                 1.If you find "Texas Instruments......" wording, you can not export to DVCAM properly. We will release and upload to our website
                                   special setting utility to improve burst transfer capability of TI chips.
                                 2.If you find "Toshiba Topic97......" wording, you can export to DVCAM properly.
                                 3.If you find "O2Micro......" wording, you can not export to DVCAM properly. We will release and upload to our website special
                                   setting utility to improve burst transfer capability of this chips.
                                 4.If you find "Ricoh .... RL/RB5C478......" or "RL/RB5C475" wording, you can not export to DVCAM properly with default setting.
                                   You have to install special setting utility "CBRPSET.VXD". Refer to User Guide(Rev.2.0) page 50. After installation, you can export
                                   to DVCAM.

                            4.Does CBFW1/PCIFW1 work with Windows95, WindowsNT4.0 ?
                              No, CBFW1U/PCIFW1U requires true 32bit WDM driver. So it does not work with neither Windows95 nor WindowNT4.0.

                            5.Will CBFW1/PCIFW1 work with Windows2000 ?
                              Yes, CBFW1/PCIFW1 will work fine. Windows2000 will include CBFW1/PCIFW1 driver and DVCAM driver. You will use IEEE1394
                              storage devices, printers, Digital Still cameras, DVCR, STB and DVCAM.
