Actualy the BIOS just looks at a DVD drive as just another IDE device.
Al lthe recognition comes with the OS and other software.
IF the software is avaiable the DVD should work.
I don't follow LINUX al lthat close so don't know what advances they
have amde on playing movie DVD's, which was a problem some years back.
I would expect NO problem with Data DVD's.
