Programmer's button.

Hello, I currently use an intel mac. I have a g4 logic board but, no power supply to use it. So, I thought I'd ask. What was the programmers button for? Did it load a different OS to program with? Document links if possible are welcomed.

Programmer's button actually served two purposes - it brought up a console window for debugging purposes, and it also was used on the new world Macs (B&W PMG3, PMG4, and iMac G3/G4 from what I can remember) for updating firmware.
