I've been all over the Apple site looking for the latest firmware update for a G4 Digital Audio I just bought off ebay... The latest I could find was 4.4.8 but it seems to only work for the Dual Mirrored G4...

I do not have OS 9 installed on this thing so I can not use it to boot in to to upgrade the firmware to an earlier edition.... sure there is a firmware update between the release of the dual mirrored G4's and the OS X to OS 9 transition I can use?

Firmware Updates chart for various models.

According to the chart, you need Firmware Update 4.2.8

OS 9.1 or later is required to install. OS 9 must be booted from a local hard drive, not from a CD.
