Processor upgrade vendors have ROM patches to allow G4s to be used in the B&W. The patch will either come with the unit or can be downloaded.

The steps are to prepare the machine for the upgrade, then flash the ROM. After that, you install the ZIF card.

To you old hands at this I'm sure you are tired of hearing it but...what's with the firmware 1.1 not letting you use G4 zifs in a B&W? Was there ever a fix?
I'm on a B&W Rev 2 running OS 10.2.8. Checking the system profiler it says, "boot ROM info 1.1 f4." Does the "f4" mean anything in this context? Will I be able to use a G4 zif in this machine?
