Looks like bad news. The DVD's Multimedia features are described as "3D
Graphics, Audio in/out connectors (rear), Microphone (integrated), Software
MPEG-1, Sound Blaster Audio support, Speakers(stereo)/headphone jack, SRS 3D
sound, Volume control (software)."
The "Audio in/out connectors (rear)" are not on my 233mHz PII model.
Are we out of luck? I was hoping to buy an upgrade that would give me a
zoomed video PC card and a DVD drive. This would have been very cool.
Sniff....
David
