firmware to upgrade g3 for os x

[yeb]

lots of info for a "macabete"; i hope it will help

not wanting to critisize you, the link you provided for the "card-update" leads exactly to the file i need. However, it is no longer being supported. i find myself in a catch22-situation; os9 is functional, the machine would support 10.2.8, but via this machine running os9, i cannot make the right configuration-changes.

so you are using a scsi card then? well, if i were you, i'd find a cheap ide drive to use instead, and pull the scsi card out. and then the only thing you will need to worry about is that you will have to make a 7.5gig partition at the beginning of the drive to install os x on. it has this restriction on older macs with ide due to the ide controller not being able to address large drives.

thanx. there is a mac-store opening in our town in a few weeks time. if i don't get osx running before that, i will go and follow your advice.

Great news. I want to thank everybody for their suggestions and help, it finally worked. I am now working from a os 10.2.8-environment. The machine is not as fast as under os 9 but it is widely supported and it's fast enough for me. One happilly surfing Duthman signing off!
