Re: B&W G3 to G4 firmware issue

[James S Jones]

All G4s come on cards; they're not like Intel or AMD processors, where 
just the chip drops into the ZIF sockets. The only Apple G4 that would 
work in a B&W would be from the relatively rare Yikes machines that 
were essentially graphite versions of the B&W with a G4 instead of a 
G3. I can say with complete certainty that the processor module from no 
AGP and later G4 will work. I suppose there might be a few on the used 
market from people who've made a second upgrade jump to the new 800 MHz 
and 1 GHz cards. Take a look on eBay.

However that involves a rather pricey new module from some OEM.  What 
I'm hoping for is someway to reuse a G4 ZIF someone else no longer 
needs as they have upgraded.  So, what I guess I'm looking for is a 
patch I can download?  Anyone know where to find that?
