[QUOTE="spidymasta, post: 802850, member: 86639"] 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 [url]http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-rumors-reports/140979-os-x-imac-g3.html#post802833[/url] [/QUOTE]
