[Cube] Creating OS 9 partition and updating firmware to 4.1.9

[Donald Schwab]

Hot d*mn!

I read about the PRAM all the time, but never think of me needing its 
help!

Yet in my much loved Quadras I had to push it often!

Shows how knowledge may be out there, but transferability to new 
situations is not necessarily instant!

Thanks.  I might give that sucker a prod tonight, and try my 9.1 
partition!
