ComboDrive in DVDless B&W G3

Thread Starter 
I have a rev 1 B&W and i want to remove my current cd-rom and put in a dvd/cd-rw combo drive. I believe that usually this model of mac came with a dvd-decoder card that attached to rage128 they shipped with, will i need to buy one of those cards to attach to my rage128 to view dvd's with the new drive? also will i then need that rage128 to drive my monitor? currently i am using a radeon. lastly will this all work in os x? i'd be happy with using toast to burn cd's and apple's dvd player to play dvd's... is any of this possible?

btw i also posted this in genius bar, but i know this gets more traffic

AFAIK, any Rage 128 can be used with the later Apple DVD Player software...even the ones that shipped with the hardware decoder add-on...which was designed for DVD Player 1.x

I know you can add a cdrw but I haven't heard of anybody adding a dvd drive?? Have you taken a look over at <a href="http://www.xlr8yourmac.com?" target="_blank">www.xlr8yourmac.com?</a> <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
