I easily installed a similar ZIF upgrade on my B&W. "You MUST install the Sonnet software before installing your ZIF regardless of which OS is installed in your system. The Crescendo/Encore/ZIF G4 software installer installs a Power Macintosh G3 firmware patch that is critical to the operation of the processor upgrade card in your system; without the patch, it won't work. The software installer must be run under OS 8.x or 9.x. NOT Mac OS X nor Classoc Mode under OS X. One the Sonnet installation is complete, you may use any compatible Mac OS, including OS X." (quoted form the manual for the Encore/Zif upgrade.) Hope this helps.
