I was given three iMac G3s. I have never used a mac in my lifetime until now. I would like to upgrade to OS X on one of these. I have read on the net that this is possible for iMac 3Gs. You, however need to upgrade the firmware. My problem is:
1) I cannot locate the firmware for my specific model number or serial number on apple.
2)I have tried to reinstall OS 9.2, but when I insert the cd and hold C, It boots from the hard drive.
3)I plug in an Ethernet cable, but internet explorer refuses to work. I looked into control panel and it correctly detected its ip address, but internet still didn't work.
4)One of the iMacs refuses to power on.
Any Ideas?
Oh I also posted pics
The pics are available here on my original post that I put in the wrong section
