How do you upgrade firmware on a blue and whiter powermac? I heard that there is a firmware update to get it to except g4 upgrade cards. -Jonas Hi Jonas, Yes you are right, the G3 needs a hack that removes the instruction that prevents a G3 firmware from recognizing a G4 CPU. Sonnet has had it for a long time, here: <http://www.sonnettech.com/support/downloads/processorupgradecards.html>http://www.sonnettech.com/support/downloads/processorupgradecards.html I suspect OWC has it (or something comparable) as well. Sonnet firmware can also be found on macupdate. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
