The B&W was intentionally crippled so it could not have a G4 ZIF installed into it. The "first graphite" is more-or-less a B&W which has had this restriction removed, and which came with a G4 ZIF from the git-go. The patch simply puts the earlier B&W on the same playing field as the later "first graphite", no more, no less. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
