Re: Wall Street and external DVD drive?

[Ben Dyer]

If it's a G4/500 machine, it should be fast enough to do the decoding 
in software, probably under both 9 and X. I'm not sure about the 
mechanics of whether it will work on external displays or internal 
only, but it should at least work. The USB 1.1 is potentially a worry 
though -- 2.0 would be a safer bet.

Cheers,
Ben

I think not, due to the very slow graphics and limited VRAM. Possibly 
on
the internal display perhaps. You don't say under what OS?
