Re: apple dvd pccard

[Dean Hamstead <dean@bong.com.au>]

sadly the mpeg decoder on the ati cards in imac dv's
(and my ibook dual usb) are unsupported

thats the sole reason my old imac dv runs osx

man id be willing to throw cash at someone to
reverse engineer it. pity ben is a busy man as
it is. someone clone him.
