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...

Wall Street. 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)?
