We will be dropped fairly soon, but after I hacked their DVD player to 
work on my Blue and White, they finally showed up with rev 3.01 which 
was just a legitimate recompile (same features as my hacked player, but 
maybe a bit more stable).  The ones that are totally not supported are 
the earlier Powerbooks... anything based on the RAGE LT Pro... it's the 
LT line that isn't supported... the Rage128  is still supported so far.
