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?

Thanks for the hint,
