I have played DVDs on a 770. It was a little strange, tho. I opened SoftDVD, hit "eject" to make sure it was talking to the correct drive. As I recall, there are some instructions that describe how to change the drive the DVD software talks to -- you need to make sure that's correct. --On Saturday, January 24, 1998, 2:39 PM -0500 "Lee Hetherington" <ilh@sls.lcs.mit.edu> wrote: > The DVD/CD-ROM for my 770 arrived yesterday.
