   I don't know about videoCDs, but you can run mpegs on a '486 66 MHz - at 
least in DOS you can, so I suspect its possible with BL3.  On the other hand, 
trying MP3s on a 66 MHz machine is going to be a bit marginal in DOS.  I 
guess it may depend somewhat on your RAM, too.

   Now that's something I would like to know, too.  :)
