I have a iBook G3 Clamshell Special Edition ( 466 MHz with Fireware port and DVD drive), running OS X 10.3.9. Is there a way to check which version of firmware I have on it?
According to Apple ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1395 ), the latest firmware for the laptp is version 4.1.7. But you can only run the firmware update in OS 9.
I don't have OS 9, so, is there a way to find out what version of firmware I have as is?

Try running Apple System Profiler. It should show you the firmware revision on the first screen.

Thanks. Got it. Also, Apple has an article on how to check firmwware version:

(Now I found out I don't have the latest firmware, I must go out to find a copy of OS 9. It's stupid that you have to run OS 9 to update the firmware.)
