Power Mac G3 ROM
From Misc Data Digs
Developer Photo[edit | edit source]
While there is a JFIF file in the ROM at 2E6E80, it doesn't seem like it could be accessible without either opening up the Open Firmware prompt or hacking. It's unknown if there is still a way to make this image appear. Given that this ROM was one of the last Old World ROMs, it's likely the last of such photos hidden in Apple's ROMs.
