Hey, I was working on a project involving putting a iMac G3 Rev.A board in a xbox 360 case and someone happend to tell me that the iMac G3 Rev A / B / C acutualy had a port on the board for a internal floppy drive, a bit of googleing brought up this: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=17920

So it seems it is perfectly possible, but is disabled in newer firmware versions.

So, is there any way to downgrade the firmware? (besides just desoldering the flash chip and re writeing it, which although i have the kit to remove the chip, i don't have anything that could reprogram it)

I would love to be able to do this, just to be able to load floppies into something that looks like a xbox 360 ;)

thanks in advance
