The iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 will only run on iMac computers with slot-loading CD or DVD drives running Mac OS 9.1 or later from a local drive. If you are using Mac OS X you must boot from a local Mac OS 9.1 or later writeable partition (not a CD or network disk) prior to following the update instructions.
iMac Update 1.1
In response to initial customer and developer feedback, Apple has made improvements to its Universal Serial Bus (USB) software for iMac customers more>>
In response to initial customer and developer feedback, Apple has made improvements to its Universal Serial Bus (USB) software for iMac customers. The iMac Update 1.1 includes these improvements, which enhance the experience with many USB peripherals, as well as enhancements previously released in iMac Update 1.0. While Apple suggests that every iMac user install this update, it notes that only those using additional USB devices other than the Apple USB keyboard and Apple USB mouse included with the iMac are likely to notice the improvements after installation. This version improves the identification of USB devices during start-up and more.
Note: You must install the iMac Firmware Update before installing the iMac Update 1.1.

Ross's Scripts for Apple Modems Feb01

These scripts overcome problems with 3Com-based ISPs to permit V.90 (over 33.6k) connections, and allow you to limit the connect speed to any V.90 rate from 34.6k to 50k for added reliability. These will work with the PowerBook G3 Series, the B&W G3s, G4s, iMacs and any later Mac with an Apple V.90 modem - except late 2001 and onwards, which have a USB internal modem (I'm working on that). Dramatic speed improvements are unlikely with any recent Mac modems, or any which have been upgraded with Apple Modem Upgrader 2, since the latest firmware (V2.300 - check with Apple System Profiler) is better than the original versions. However, the speed-limiting scripts may still be useful if you get frequent disconnections

SilverFast SE is a powerful solution from LaserSoft Imaging which combines the best of both worlds: high-end imaging technology for low-end scanners for a very low cost. We specially designed SilverFast SE for flatbed and film scanner. Images will especially benefit from SilverFast's intelligent auto-adjust and LAB-based unsharp-masking, which does not sharpen the color noise of single channels, hence avoiding the extra noise. You get many of the marvelous highlights of the full SilverFast Ai, such as:
- Patent-Pending Multi-Sampling for efficient Scanner-Noise-Reduction and Dynamic Range Enhancement
- Auto-adjust with artificial intelligence
- USM - Professional unsharp masking
- Color-cast removal slider
- Simple selective color correction
- RGB-TIFF and JPEG output formats
