I didn't put os9 on the machine as it wouldn't boot with that disk. I went
to the Apple site and maybe was looking in the wrong place for firmware, but
I couldn't find any.

I must have really gone and done it now.. It wont boot to the CD when I hold
down the C button. I kind of will if I hold down the option button.
