also did you have in mind this? you can't update HD Native Firmware from a Mac OS 1.6.8 or above:

My suggestion would be to install PTHD 9.0.5 in your Laptop.
- Connect your Laptop to your MacPro via Firewire
- Boot your Laptop as a target disk (Press the "T" key when starting up)
- Boot your Mac Pro using the OS from the Laptop as startup disk (Press "Alt / Option" key when booting up your Mac Pro).
- Proceed to make the Firmware update.

Again thank you for the info and the help.
Thanks Aditu.
I had to buy a copy of snow leopard and should arrive within a few days (could not use an installer disc from another mac pro) I'm planning on installing the SL OS in an external firewire HD and boot the MAc Pro from there. Thanks for the Target suggestion! I'll try that if the HD fails.
Thanks again and I'll keep you posted.
