Compro Videomate S900 appears to be a clone of the TeVii S660.

I have not attempted to get the Compro Videomate S900 working under Linux yet but it does work under Windows using the TeVii S660 drivers. I will update this page when I get a chance to test. [[User:czuk|czuk]] 11:20, 10 June 2013 (BST)
