Charles, I heard recently that this is not the case. A Japanese company have
been producing external DVD writing drives that are compatible with G3
machines. I don't recall it saying how long it would take a G3 machine to
write such a disc, but it is possible.

Somewhere else it was said that it would be nearly impossible for a G3 to
create DVD's because the processing necessary would tie up the chip for
hours at a time. I think the Japanese produced drive was implying that this
has since been overcome.
