[QUOTE="Badger, post: 202623"] You can check the installed firmware in the Apple System Profiler, under "system profile>production information." This Apple page has links to the firmware versions downloads: [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75130[/url]. The version you'll want is 4.1.9; click on the readme icon to get the installation steps. You need to have at least OS 9.1 to run the firmware updater so here's the 9x updates page: [url]http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75288[/url]. If you want to run classic under X you should take the system to 9.2.2. Apple keeps an iMac G3 support section active. It's a good page to bookmark: [url]http://www.apple.com/support/imac/g3/[/url]. If I remember correctly you can download the various archives to the pc and then copy them (via the external disk) to the mac. Only after they are on the mac do you open them. [/QUOTE]
