Re:[alfa] Machine to see Alfa Victory by Design

Unfortunately, Biba, your 7600 was minted WAY before DVD came on the 
scene. Not only will it not play a DVD as configured, it's too slow to 
play one at full frame rate even if you could get one for it. I was 
counting on you having something newer. All currrent macs and most PCs 
can play DVD out of the box, but your 7600 is early nineties, if I 
remember correctly and it's no dice.
