The model quicksilver I have is a dual 1 gig that was upgraded with a

upgrade ran in OS9 to work.
The computer is working fine without the firmware upgrade. It seems to
have the propper level 3 cache amount in the About this computer
screen.
I have no special OS 9 .2.2 disk only the retail 9.1 and 9.2.1 versions.
anyone know where I can get it?

You can't get a retail 9.2.2 installer CD, because Apple never released
one. Use the installer disc that came with your Mac. If you no longer
have it, you can look for one on eBay and such. If you have further
questions, I suggest you contact Sonnet.
