As an old hat at Ebay, I was careful to check with more reputable sellers on the information provided. Even those sellers with high feedback and Mac knowledgable said the eMac restore/install DVD's would work on any Mac capable of running the OS. I guess I will give your suggestion a try as you are the 3rd one to suggest it.
Just a message from Doug...
How much cheaper was it that the Retail DVD sets ? There are reasons the machine specific CD's or DVD's are cheaper.
1. They may or may not install all of the components your specific Mac needs. Installer is for an eMac and it specific needs.
2. It may or may not boot and install the OS on any Mac. Some work, some don't work.
3. If it's half the price of a full retail set there is a very good reason. You are not getting a deal, especially on Epay.
I would return it for a refund an just pay the price for what you want.
In the real world you usually get what you pay for.... On Epay you usually get more than you bargained for.....
