The AHT images were definitely only included on the second disk that shipped with the computer (the gray one). Unfortunately, I don't have one of those disks, but I would second the suggestion that's already been posted in this thread and see if you can get one of LEMSwap. Regarding the search for an ASD image, I do remember seeing one floating around some less-than-reputable places on the 'net awhile back. That said, the reason it was on one of those less-than-reputable places was that the images are restricted to Apple Authorized Service Providers. Unless you're working for an Apple Authorized Service Provider, getting your hands on an ASD image isn't going to be, strictly speaking, legal. If you can't purchase an AHT disk off LEMSwap (I can't imagine it would cost that much), you might want to see if you could take it into an AASP. Many universities have one and might be willing to run the test for free for a friend.
