Indeed. I also kind of wonder if it has anything to do with the rev A ROM but who knows, it just works™️ and that’s good enough for me. Stranger things have happened…
Pro-tip: this might be silly and common knowledge but it caught me by surprise. I installed an orange micro usb/fw combo card under OS 9 in my beige G3 and at first only the FireWire worked and not the usb, even though I had the newest extensions installed. I knew the card was fully functional...
This is probably a stupid question, but is there any difference between the rev B and C logic boards, or is it just the ROM chip? In other words, could I put a Rev B or C ROM in my pessimum Rev A beige minitower?
