This thread and its predecessor have been the most helpful I ever had on OSNN (is this a Mac thing?! :dead:?) BUT the iMac remains dead. I am thinking of pressing on with SoDimm upgrade if they spring £50 to fund - but I am concerned lest the same boot disc issues hit me for OSX suppose the firmware does not allow that either?
Anyone offer any open firmware guidance on that? Things get eerily technical there, I have seen I could draw on my assembler knowledge and write Forth scripts and so on, which I would prefer not to get distracted by (plus I seriously do not want to "brick" the iMac!). I may make separate thread of this (nto sure mods can do that with a post though?! :yowch
