After 27 years, engineer discovers how to display secret photo in Power Mac ROM
Briefly

A recent blog post by Brown revealed an undocumented Easter egg in Mac OS 9.0.4 that displays a hidden team photo, believed to be one of the last from the era before Steve Jobs' return to Apple. This Easter egg was reportedly disabled in version 9.1, coinciding with Jobs' policy against Easter eggs. Brown connected with Bill Saperstein, a member of the G3 team in the photo, who shared insights about the project's origins and the team's secrecy regarding the Easter egg.
We all knew about the Easter egg, but as you mention; the technique to extract it changed from previous Macs (although the location was the same), Saperstein wrote in the comment.
The team was really a group of talented people (both hw and sw) that were believers in the architecture I presented, Saperstein wrote.
