A mac user said : While setting up a PowerBook G4 (17" 1.33Ghz) to boot into Mac OS 9 natively, there is the lack of controlling the fans. Mac OS 9 is terrible at monitoring hardware temperatures, and especially with unsupported machines. There is no software that runs under Mac OS 9 that can control system fan speeds. G4FanControl is an excellent tool for PPC machines running Mac OS X, but may not work with all machines. After...

The former is typically used to recover from crashes that leave the system unresponsive, while the latter is for debugging and applying firmware updates. Where they appear on your computer, or even if they do, depends on which model you have. For more information, see the following...

MacOS Catalina can...
