Re: Firmware and blueberry Imac Upgrade

I did find the firmware updater on the jaguar CD. Question - both the Read Me for Imac Firmware uPdate and your note below are referencing updating a slot-loading Imac. The blueberry I have has a trayloading CD (not a slot). Does this make a difference in applying the firmware update?

I'd like to upgrade our blueberry to Jaquar. I've recently updated from 9.1 to 9.2. The Imac has 256+ ram and 6 gig harddrive. One of the reasons I haven't upgrade yet is that I read somewhere that I may need to upgrade the firmware to make it compatible for OSX. I don't have an internet connection on that machine. What's the best way to tell if I'll run into firmware issues? (other than try and install jaquar?) Thanks.
Check the Apple system profiler. If it does not show version 4.1.9, you need the update. You can always download from Apple's siteit on another machine and burn it to CD to get it to the iMac. Works fine. That's exactly how I did it awhile back.

But definitely do it. I was unaware of the issue until I tried installing Jaguar on a used iMac slot-loader I picked up and was setting up for a friend. Fortunately for me the screen died slowly but it was still a puzzle to fix; took me a day and a half of research but I got it fixed. Many forum messages I read spoke of a total loss of the screen and many backdoor approaches to get it done. Supposedly the firmware update is on the Jaguar installation disk also.
