Hi, The DVD decoder add on to ATI 128 video card doesn't work in OSX
only OS 9.x
The good news is it's not needed at all. Any ATI 128 video card or
newer lets you use Apple DVD Player software OS 9.x and OSX. You do
need as I've posted before hacked versions of Apple DVD player to get
it to install and run on an old World machine. I'd agree a G300 would
likely be the minimum for DVD playing. Will S
PS. I just did this a couple of months ago works well
