Was there posted here at one time a file that implemented OS 9 booting on the MDD FW800?  I know the downloads are not available at present, but thought that there might be something mirrored at MacintoshGarden or another forum. 

[IIO]

there is a OS9 HD driver which you can patch into the ROM file using that rom editor by elliot

On your MacintoshGarden link page the text description says

Compatibility
Architecture: PPC PPC (Carbonized)
Boots PowerMac G4 MDD (FireWire 400 models only);

I was asking about FW800...will this actually work for both FW400 AND FW800?

That's what I get for trying to be extra helpful… the wrong link

You know, all I did was type "FW800" into the MacGarden search box. You should try it.

Thanks, Gary.  I'll check it out.  Sometimes the obvious eludes me.
