most likely, but you may still be able to pull the software out of the "tome" with tome viewer and it probably has everything you need, it's probably just the installer program that checks. the shareware "wish i were" might also help, you can use it to fool installers into thinking you have a different model of machine, i've used it to set up hard drives for other macs that were a different model than the one i was doing the install on. just remember to set wish i were back to the truth when you're done. of course, this assumes that you have a legal, legit right to be using the installer disk, otherwise it's a no-no of course.
