DVD Functionality for Beige G3

Although I discussed this briefly in an earlier topic on this list, I'm about ready to break down and buy a DVD drive for my Rev. A Beige G3. This came about because I recently ran across the much-sought- after Bordeaux personality card, one of the ways to allow DVD video playback on this machine.

Re: Beige G3 Upgrade Questions

Somewhat on topic, I have question which I feel is a bit too simple to warrant a new thread.

Does anyone know what
