Apple Posts Mac OS ROM Update

Apple has posted Mac OS ROM Update 1.0, which fixes a variety of bugs and software duds for iMacs, Blue/White Power Macintosh G3, and the new Lombard PowerBook G3 Series. Here’s the fixes in the fore-mentioned update:

  • Fixed an intermittent issue where after startup the keyboard/mouse does not respond when a mouse is attached to the top (or left) USB port and a keyboard attached to the bottom (or right) USB port.
  • A possible crash on the PowerBook G3 when removing an attached USB keyboard at the same time as putting the unit to sleep.
  • Hot swapping a media bay device into a bronze keyboard PowerBook G3 would not always recognize the device.
  • Using the Target Disk Mode feature on the bronze keyboard PowerBook G3, a user can only use the SCSI ID setting of 2.
