I need some guidance on using firmware upgrades on my bondi iMac. We're trying to make sure we have the most updated usb extensions and suppport. Last year, I dl'd and installed the USB Mass storage support 1.3.5 upgrade. (Why I had to do this -- we got our iMac used, and the drive was reformatted. ) Until I ran the mass storage support 1.3.5 upgrade, the iMac wouldn't recognize my Olympus digital camera. After the upgrade, no prob.
Anyways, we're working on hooking up some other dv equipment, and we want to make sure we have the best usb support possible for our iMac and OS (8.6) So i went looking for updates at the Apple site. I found iMac update 1.1 which appears to do some improvements to the USB functionality. In order to run this, though, you need to run the "firmware update." The only firmware update that I could find that seemed relevant to our iMac 233 was called Firmware update 1.2 . But the readme files talk about "improved functionality in netboot environments and Mac OS X servers." Neither of which is something we deal with right now. And I worry that since I already installed Mass Storage Support 1.3.5 maybe running these updates will actually put me back, and I would have to run the Mass Storage Support 1.3.5 installer again after the updates. Can someone give me some reassurance? Thanks Pook -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
