I just installed 10.2.8 OSX on a Wallstreet PB G3.

When I run system profiler, it doesn't display the Boot ROM ID. What is that and why doesn't it display?

Thanks

On modern Macs, the boot ROM, despite its name, is a file on the boot disk. The Wallstreet is an old Mac that used a physical ROM chip. Those didn't have versions.
