Re: What is a Lombard DVD card?

Normally a 333 Lombard requires a DVD decoder card that is inserted into the PC Card slot in order for a DVD to play if you have a DVD drive. It might be that you have a 400 Lombard that has a 333 CPU replacing the orignal 400 CPU. The 400 had the decoder hardware on the motherboa

Hi Jeff, I used patchburn and iTunes refuses to see any supported burned. There are identical part numbers for the Iomega drive under Lite-On and Philips, but they don't seem to make any difference. Amanda On Monday, May 17, 2004, at 07:58 AM, Jeff Greffe wrote: Just use patchburn one-clic
