Seeing "PowerPC 60?" in ATM with your upgrade card? Here's how to fix that in OF:
Go to Storing if single processor, otherwise, Press Control-N
Storing
Press Control-C

Do not type the 0, >, or ok’s
80030101 encode-int " cpu-version" property: this is the PowerPC PVR number in hexadecimal, kind like the intel sSPEC number. Reports the CPU version. In this example we are encoding an integer with a value of 80030101 (1.1) to the cpu-version property stored in OF. Here's a List of PVR's for reference: https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/supporting-information/PPCPVR.pdf
" PowerPC,G4" encode-string " name" property: This changes the reported CPU name. We are encoding a string with the value of PowerPC,G4 to the name property. Changes “PowerPC 60?” to "PowerPC G4" in About This Mac.
Don't worry if these values don't exist, some information was already in my nvramrc from the firmware tool that came with the processor. If you have nothing in your nvramrc, then just ADD the info and make sure that "device-end" is appended to the end of the last string without quotes.
