And i can confirm, the converted cards are bootable cloned my boot drive and booted right up from the card

might go stick this card into my 8600 and see if it works under os 8 or 9....

though, i am getting some compatibility problems, my B/W G3 keeps kping wth it in, and my 2001 QS just won't boot with it (though that is to do with the card, not the firmware did the same thing with the pc fw)

Edit, i can also confirm the card works under mac os 9, however it dosen't appear to be bootable under mac os 9
