I would appreciate any input from the list on trying to get this machine running again. I've got a 233 Bondi iMac that is stuck when trying to boot. It also needs firmware updates for both the CD-ROM and Open Firmware. What is the easiest way to install these if I'm also having trouble with the CD-ROM? Can one drop a hard drive with OS 9 loaded into the iMac and boot it to install the firmware updates? Also, do you have to remove the motherboard in order to remove the hard drive? I've never taken one of these this far apart before.

Thanks,
Chris

This Apple support page deals with installing memory, but it shows you how to get into the older iMacs. Once inside, you can look around for the hard drive.
