OK... so I want to know if an older SCSI based DVD player would work

I wish to have a DVD player on this older mac... ability to play video
is secondary...
It will work fine as a data drive. In order to play DVDs, you will need
an appropriate DVD decoder and the correct software. The Radeon line
(original Radeon, Radeon 7000 and the Radeon 9200) includes a decoder.
Here are instructions for the software for OS 9:

Note that unless you have upgraded the processor in your 8500, the odds
are that DVD playback will be less than optimal. It was marginal on a
beige G3 266.
