Are you taking about something called the “Enabler” or so? This should be part of Mac OS 9 and has nothing to do with the logic board ROM (e.g. Open Firmware ROM or whatever you want to call it). Am I right? I know that the MDD had a special version of Mac OS 9 included, but as I said before: mine is gone. Where should I get this special MDD-ROM for Mac OS 9 from? I mean, legally? Or is it legal to get one when I already own a MDD?
