Hallo,

I've uploaded the sourcecode for accessing the video blaster under Linux
and Dos at sunsite.unc.edu and posted it to alt.binaries.msdos. The file
is called vid_src.zip and includes some files for using the video blaster
in a terminal (not under X). You can see the live video in full VGA-
resolution (640x480) using the SVGALIB. If you have less then 16 MB ram
installed you can also save single frames of the live video. It does not
include a driver for the VB, it's only a library and a simple demoprogram
to show how to use the library.

Here is a copy of the .lsm file:
