CoolDVD and the 8500

The latest info I've read says that E4 has redesigned the PCI card so for
SCSI PowerMacs it DVD and MPEG2 are all on one card. But, considering I
can get a decent DVD Video player for around $400, CoolDVD I've seen around
$450. DVD-ROMs are too scarse and a usuall there's a fight between the
three or four DVD-RAM standards. But, it does have an appeal.
