I don't recall the firmware update but I've been running Tiger on Pismo since it came out, IIRC. I have retail copies of Tiger DVD, OS9·1 installer DVD and burned-to-CD copies of the updaters to 9·2·1 and 9·2·2. These have all worked as they should when I've reinstalled Pismo (which I've done a number of times over the years as I've obtained bigger HDs). Of course, who knows what might happen in the future. And I'm always glad to hear of new techniques. cheers Bruce -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
