Sure, you do not boot into Classic.  Classic is emulated within OS X 
***I think.***  You can boot into OS 9.2 from the installation disk, 
however.

My Quicksilver 2002 is also, and, as I recall, that is the latest 
version.  I am running with an OWC Mercury single processor upgrade, 
1.3 GHz, as I recall.

I believe it is.  However, once I read that one had to boot into OS 
9.x to see the firmware number.  My belief is that if you are in  
Boot ROM Version:	4.3.3f2, you are OK.
