[G4] Wind Tunnel Firmware Update for Fan noise

I installed it last night.
So far, when booted up in OS9.2.2 [NOT in classic via OSX], the "wind 
tunnel" hasn't come on, and the "cycling fan" hasn't either. It stays 
on slightly, but it's constant, as opposed to the every 10-15 minuet 
cycling.
I was running Utilities [Norton/DW] on my [23] volumes.
The real test for me will be this afternoon, when I boot up DP3, push 
the CPU and SCSI drives, and do some recording.
I'll post my results.

Best Regardz,
