I can't be for absolutely certain Dale, but the one that came with my B&W was a DVD decoder card. But then my B&W came with a DVD drive in it as well. BTW, the decoder card is only necessary for playing DVD's in OS 9. OSX will play DVD's without the extra card. HTH Just a message from Doug... >> If they're from a B&W they aren't AGP, they're PCI. BTW, I've also heard it said on this list that the decoder card only works in the 66 MHz slot in a B&W, & not (presumeably) on a beige G3, which only has the 33 MHz slot, although the Rage 128 card will run fine otherwise. I'm running a Rage 128, with decoder card, in my beige, & the (patched) Apple DVD Player 2.7 plays DVD movie disks just fine under OS 9, as well as X (with VideoLAN Client). What's wrong with this picture? (By "fine" I mean with the occasional drop-off of sound or picture, once in a while, & the occasional bogus warning that I have to change the region on the DVD drive, & that there are 4 more changes. That usually just goes away, on the rare occasions when it pops up, if I just play on.
