This makes some sense, Shaun. However, didn't the Wallstreet and Lombard PowerBooks require a decoder card that included these chipsets to play DVD's on them? Once OS X (perhaps Jaguar or later) is loaded, they didn't require these cards, correct? Just asking. . .
Not so much a matter of require but support. OS X doesn't support the hardware decoder. It uses software but the G3 really isn't up to the task. Other G3 machines that had decoding hardware are supported in X but not the WS/Lombard decoder card. AFAIK the Pismo's built in decoder is supported. I don't know about the Lombard built in hardware.
