Thanks for letting us know not to use the 0.9.59 version from the ftp
site. With mol-0.9.59-1a from YDL 2.0, the v5.5.1 Mac OS ROM on my
dual G4 (2x500 MHz) running a 2.4.4-pre1 BenH kernel and MacOS 9.0.4
works fine. BTW, my dual G4 has an ATI Rage128 Pro PF (AGP), and not
a Radeon. Also, I verified on my system that MOL would work with either
a stripped or unstripped rom.nw. Finally, at least on recent versions
of MacOS, you can just do an "About This Computer" under the Apple Menu
to find out the MacOS and MacOS ROM versions.
