Rev 1 B&W G3 does NOT support booting from slave IDE devices because the on-board ROM for the controller does not understand how to access slave devices. OS …
Oh cool!
Now does this just pretty much modify the NVRAM making it independent of the software once installed? Like i install it, turn it on, and i can swap out the hard drive with…

You should be able to boot from a USB drive, as long as there is a known working OS 9 or OS X install on that drive. You will have to hold Option at boot with the drive connected. …
There were three revisions of the Beige G3 ROM: -A (LROG434-01/02), -B (LROG434-02) and -C (LROG434-03), and all with part no 820-0954. There are five subspecies of the Rev. A, but…

ATA cards show up as SCSI devices to the system bypassing the IDE issues with OSX on a beige G3 (also means once they are formatted on that card they cannot be used on the built in…
To get OS X on an IDE drive, it must be installed on the first partition of the drive and that partition must be 8GB or less.
This can be overcome with the use of a Sonnet ATA/100…
As some may know by now, I have a Apple IIgs that I'm getting set up.
