Startup Security CommentaryDoes more than Open Firmware Password - Version: 1.3, 1/14/2005 03:14PM PST

Startup Security provides protection for OS9 as well as OSX. Open Firmware Password does not provide this capability. Also, Open Firmware Password does not allow you to set the "full" level of security.
