Actually I believe the original was somewhere around eight channels if shown in a theater that was set up for it. Listen to the dance of the sugar plum fairies on at least a surround system and you'll hear the music swirl all around you. It was that way originally. Disney went all out for that movie in an attempt to basically show off what they could do.
That's the same story for the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland. They were asked to show it and turned down the opportunity to do so because of the exclusivity of the contract. So, if I want to see it in IMAX, I have to go down to Columbus.
As to the OmniMAX versus IMAX, I believe the only differences are the screen and the lens on the projector. (Okay, the projector on an OmniMAX moves up and down as well)
Um, no, if you read the web page, you'll see that it requires Mesa 3.0, and that just happens to support the 3Dfx chip, because they released glide. So, its not a direct glide game, its an OpenGL game, and the driver only supports 3Dfx in accelerated modes. What this also means is that anyone with Mesa can run the game, it'll just run like crap without 3d acceleration!

Try Digikey (www.digikey.com) or Mouser Electronics (www.mouser.com).
They should have everything you need when it comes to electronics.
