Non CB?  Could you define that term.
As for getting it running it all depends on how much CPU comp time the
DVD decoder takes off of the actual CPU's hands.  If it does 90% or
better it should run on almost anything - in theory.
Anybody want to send me a PCMCIA cage and DVD card/drive to test on my
non-upgraded 540c? *grin*  Just kidding.

See above.
