CB = CardBus. 32-bit card controller connected to the PCI bus. The pre-3400 PBs were 16-bit PCMCIA controllers attached to what was essentially 10MHz NuBus architecture. >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. True enough - if the pre-3400s actually supported Zoomed Video, they too could run PCMCIA cards like the Capsure. Although they're too slow to do anything but watch TV via a VCR. I note Apple's now finally toting the use of the CardBus slot on the new TiBooks for Compact Flash cards - finally. What we've all known since 1995. (but now the Mac's a 'digital hub' of course).
