I can concur: B+W G3 350mhz, X.2.6, ATI Mac Radeon edition (also), also plays DVD flawlessly. Other model (finally!): beige G3 desktop @ 266mhz, OS 9.2.1, oem ATI Rage 128 rev2 w/ the decoder card, and using the hacked version of Apple DVD player 2.9, also plays DVDs flawlessly (I've defeated the auto-launch extension as it's too quirky), though I suspect that the decoder card is simply being ignored; I think it's engaged only in a 66mhz PCI slot. Indirectly related: does anyone know, besides God and Apple, just what machines were intended for running Apple DVD Player unhacked?
