Requires Virtual PC to install?

alternateorg on July 5, 2001

Someone please explain to me how I am supposed to install this firmware update on a G4 for a Sony CD-RW drive?


This Firmware Upgrade can be installed under Windows 98, ME, and 2000 Operating Systems. The upgrade resolves multiple CDRW drive functionality, Retrospect software functionality, and Mac G-4 detection issues. Some drives were shipped with this version of Firmware installed. Those users will be notified during the upgrade that it is not neccessary to continue.

    Doesn’t look like you can. Thank Sony for that. It is the Firmware on the drive itself, right? then, yeah, looks like you can’t.

    Sony makes a firmware update for a G4 but it has to be installed via Windows. This is utterly retarded.
