Re: upgrading firmware on blue and white??
yes finally i got it to work and i installed the upgrade and it worked great! I heard that the upgrade card would cut back the system bus speed to 67mhz, but it didn't Thanks One more question: how do i upgrade the firmware for the system? -Jonas On 2/23/09, Kris Tilford ktilfo...@cox.net wrote: On Feb 23, 2009, at 1:09 AM, jonas ulrich wrote: every single bloody download link doesn't work!!! at 94k through it says the decompression failed Try either of these: http://eshop.macsales.com/Tech/FTP/newertech/BWG4Enabler.hqx or http://eshop.macsales.com/Tech/FTP/newertech/BWG4Enabler.sit --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

The firmware for the system on New World Macs is contained in a system file named MacOS ROM.

I heard that there is a firmware update to get it to except g4 upgrade cards. -Jonas Hi Jonas, Yes you are right, the G3 needs a hack that removes the instruction that prevents a G3 firmware from recognizing a G4 CPU. Sonnet has had it for a long time, here: http://www.sonnettech.com/support/downloads/processorupgradecards.html I suspect OWC has it (or something comparable) as well.
