That could be the case - the firmware has been updated on this machine. I need 9.1 because I'm trying to get a pci-gpib card working in this machine, and 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 both give me heap errors/crash on stratup. The National Instruments website that has the drivers for this card say they support the card to 9.1, with no support after that (on Mac OS, they do have OSX drivers).
I also have 10.4.11 running on this machine, and using those OSX drivers it doesn't have the heap error that 9.2.2 has, and the diagnostics program for the gpib says it finds the card on the pci bus, but it can't 'read' the card. This card works flwalessly in a Mac 9500, as well as windows 7, so it's not the card. Seems to be a problem with this card with this machine (digital audio G4). I might just go anotehr route and try a usb to gpib adapter - and stay away from the PCI bus with this machine.....
