Incidentally, the new ACARD firmware also provides the capability to more-or-less completely mimic a SCSI DVD, so that DVDs may be played on, say, a Beige G3 (equipped with a Radeon 7000), without having to install a third-party CD/DVD driver.
Apple DVD Player 2.5 (patched to support a Beige) will play DVDs, with the audio coming via the SCSI channel. I have burned CD-Rs ... but not DVD-Rs, I haven't tested those, yet ... using Toast 4.x, on an ACARD-equipped Pioneer DVR-105, attached to the Beige's motherboard's SCSI channel. This could be a good solution for a G3'd Mac (or clone), one which has only SCSI drives. (My own Beige G3/533 MT has only SCSI drives ... except for a CD-R and a DVD-R, on EIDE buses 0 and 1, respectively. The test of the ACARD card and the DVR-105 was for purposes of seeing just how far ACARD's firmware has come since last I updated it). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
