Lombards (some) had a hardware based DVD decoder. Apple didn't write
drivers for it for osx, nor software DVD decoding for pre pismos, if
memory serves.

...plus, me getting a Lombard ready for a friend who is computer-
less right
now.
I quickly realize that the machine, if it is to play DVD movies,
would be
best served running Classic(!), as the Lombard's DVD hardware does
not work
with OSX supposedly...
According to what mis-informed source? I ran a Lombard on Panther
for several years without any problem. With a trick or two you can
load Tiger on it and AFAIK it should run even better.
Classic by the way is OS 9 running UNDER OS X (as a process within
X). OS 9 is the proper term for running booting and running OS 9 by
itself.
If this laptop is to be used on the Internet you should definitely
put X on it. Explorer and NetScrape barely function on many sites,
on some not at all. While under Tiger you can use Safari 4 which is
the latest version.
