*G4 Pram Restore Diskette - The Crescendo installer modifies open firmware in the PRAM to fully support a G4. You must run the Crescendo installer first or your computer may not boot when you install the Crescendo G4 card. In the future, you may reset the PRAM during a restart from the special menu, but DO NOT reset PRAM during a cold start. Resetting PRAM during a cold start will reset PRAM including open firmware and your computer may not boot thereafter. In the event your computer becomes unbootable due to the loss of its G$ open firmware contents, booting from the G4 PRAM Restore diskette will restore open firmware to boot your G4.
