for iMac, B&W G3 and PowerBook G3 Bronze with Mac OS 8.6 is available from Apple for downloading (2.1 MB .bin). "The Mac OS ROM Update 1.0 replaces the Mac OS ROM version 1.4 with version 1.6, which includes the following fixes:

Fixed an intermittent issue where after startup the keyboard/mouse does not respond when a mouse is attached to the top USB port and a keyboard attached to the bottom USB port.

A possible crash on the PowerBook G3 when removing an attached USB keyboard at the same time as putting the unit to sleep.

Hot swapping a media bay device into a bronze keyboard PowerBook G3 would not always recognize the device.

Using the Target Disk Mode feature on the bronze keyboard PowerBook G3, a user can only use the SCSI ID setting of 2."
