Ok. It said 250 in the original e-mail, but Ok. I think the Sonnet lowers the bus speed to 66 MHz. But they did have DVD players on 66 Mhz notebooks (early iBooks), so go for it. I would recommend a CardBus DVD drive. It would be bus powered (less cables) and probably a bit faster. Check compatibility though.
And the Wallstreet's DVD decoder card is not supported by OS X in case you didn't know. "DVD playing is not supported in OS X on a Wallstreet, precisely because of the decoder card that is not supported. Apple felt they had to put their time and resources somewhere else or they were a little lazy so they decided they wouldn't support it. Now, I think I've seen, back when OS X was released and I was still using a Wallstreet, a few hacks that would describe how to install the DVD player and maybe how to play DVDs using software decoding, but that was a long time ago, so I might be wrong... -Laurent."

I got the G4/500 from Sonnet. So with a G4/500 it WOULD be fast enough, regardless of the bus speed (83 Mhz, I think)? -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
