Well, do the combo drive have builtin hardware DVD movie decoding that
Apples DVDplayer can utilize? I'd guess not, as the Lombard didn't work,
so you were using the G4s builtin.
I think you might be confusing things a bit here. The
DVD-ROM/+/-R/RW drive itself doesn't have any logic that
, and then not always.

You might want to check SillyDog's Netscape archive
http://sillydog.org/narchive/
They show 7.02 for OS 8.6 so it should be fine with OS 9.1.
Their streamline packages are very nice but the latest they've got for
the MAC is Netscape 6.2.2.

I picked up a PowerLogix Blue Chip/WS 466 for my Wallstreet
233MHz/512kB recently. (A _very_ nice upgrade, by the way. The
Wallstreet now gives my Pismo 500 a run for it's money on most
tasks.)
As for the performance
I'm mostly shopping for insurance in case my stock processor goes belly up.
So I'll keep an eye out for either processor although the deal you
got was about half what the Lombard OEM processors go for on E-bay.
Does the BlueChip need any software to run or do you just install
the OS like normal?
In my house, the base station is on the ground floor, sitting
on top of a 5200 just because that is where my router/hubs are located.
Yikes! I hope the 5200 isn't turned on! The graphite base stations
already have over heating problems without adding a CRT's thermal
emissions to the mix...
I called MacMall yesterday wondering if
I they could recommend a wi-fi Cardbus card
for my Wall Street since I don't want to depend
on a 3rd party card's software to get it to
work when I'm out of town.
They told me I'd need OS X. True?
The sheer amount of FUD out there about these things
Is there any way to make the 3rd party rebranded cards work with the
AirPort software? I've got both an IBM branded and a Cabletron
branded WaveLAN card which appear to be identical to the 'real'
Lucent WaveLAN cards.
The OEM cards (called WaveLAN or ORiNOCO) will work with Apple's
AirPort

I've been contemplating
Actually, the first generation AirPort card uses a standard PCMCIA
connector, so you could connect one in a Wallstreet. However, since the card
expects an external antenna, You wouldn't be able to do much with it in your
Wallstreet.
That's not true.
AFAIK, there's only one generation of AirPort
