Hi Pat, iMacers: You can find the "iMac Firmware Update 1.2" here: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60384> I think it's the latest firmware update for the iMacs with drawer loading CD drives. Also, after you've updated your firmware and installed OS 9.1, you may want to download and install the "Mac OS 9.2.1 Update" from here: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120030> And then download and install the "Mac OS 9.2.2 Update" from here: <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75186> You need to install the OS 9 updates in the order listed above, unfortunately, you can't skip the "Mac OS 9.2.1 Update" and go straight to the "Mac OS 9.2.2 Update".
