Have your friend run ASP and discover the current version of the firmware - Production Info->ROM revision/bootROM version, or something like that. Obviously if it's already v4.19 then an update is unnecessary. OW, run the updater (under OS9 of course, booted from the HD), then do the Tiger upgrade. Eazy peazy.
