The "firmware" is what a PC calls the "BIOS". It's the software in the chips of the computer that controls the initial boot process. Since you've installed OS X already, boot and go to Applications>Utilities>System Profiler and look under that Hardware tab at the field: "Boot ROM Version:" It needs to say "1.1" and not "1.0", "1.0.1" or "1.0.2". If it's not version 1.1, download and update it first. (you'll need to be booted in OS 9 to do this). The link was in my previous reply. > I installed x,then 10.2,10.2 and then 10.3?It doesn't sound as if I > did what you said. You don't need to go from 10.0, to 10.2, to 10.3. Each version is complete. You can start with 10.3 (or better, 10.4) and only install it once. I don't think you'll probably need "Classic" or OS 9, but who knows, perhaps there's some piece of legacy software that's impossible to replace in OS X? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
