Yes, IIRC, the DVD decoder card needs to be installed in the bottom slot, because that is the Zoomed Video slot (on both the Wallstreet and the 3400/Kanga). Again, don't take my word (or rather: hunch) for it, since I own neither a Wallstreet, nor a 3400 or Kanga, nor the DVD decoder card, but judging merely by specs, this should, theoretically, work. The DVD decoder card takes the brunt of the number-crunching required to play DVD's, so the Kanga's relatively slow CPU and bus shouldn't matter for DVD playback. It'd be mighty interesting to try out. Anyone happen to own a Kanga, external DVD player that can connect to it, and the decoder card? ,xtG .tsooJ -- Isildur: "You killed my father!"
