   Hello all, first time on this list. I've been using a 5400/200 for a long
time, hooked up to a home LAN.  Last week though I came across an AGP
Graphics G4 400 with a Studio Display 17" 9300, 512MB of RAM, 1 new Quantum
Fireball Plus 10.2Gig and 1 Maxtor 20.5Gig hard drives, 100MB Zip drive, and
the USB Keyboard and Mouse, all in very good condition, running OS 10.0.4
with 9.2.2, and I have both OS CD's (9.1, 10.0.1). Later on I want get 10.2
or 10.3.

 I have to say this before I go on.  W O W !!! Fast is an understatement.

   I have found one thing that I can not seem to find an answer for, so far.
Using the Apple System Profiler, I noticed that listed in the 'Production
Information' at the very bottom of the 'System Profile' menu, is the "ROM
revision" code, "Boot ROM" number, and the "Mac OS ROM file ver: 8.7".

   Okay, does this mean that the G4 can boot from an on board ROM chip? or
is this the ROM chip OS that it uses for the "Startup Manager"?


      Thanks,
        Michael
