I got this machine from a neghibor who is moving and did not want it since he only deals in newer Macs. I don’t know the specs but I did peek to check out the capacitors on the boards since I know this is an issue and while it was noted, I wanted to make sure before applying power. It booted up and it might be the only G5 iMac I know of that hasn’t killed the capacitors yet :-). It’s no collectors machine because it has a cracked front panel, but I don’t exactly care at the price of get this thing out of my house.
Anyway, the machine was wiped by the previous owner and he never fixed that, so I need to find a copy of OS X 10.3 or 10.4, depending on what’s more appropriate. I’d like to use it for older applications and Mac OS9 Classic mode since the PPC Macs are mostly useless for anything else. However, I can’t find an image that’s not in .DMG, which I cannot handle. I tried Macintosh Repository (donation block), Macintosh Garden (useless) and winworldPC (10.3 CD maximum; I literally think I have this in my CD case). I’d like to install 10.4 and nearly max it out OS wise, within reason (Not an owner of DL DVD media).
Where can I find an ISO for this machine that I can handle on my PC? I’m not at a loss but I’m desperate for anything. Delete this if it constitutes piracy; I’ll understand.
