I found this thread in Apple’s forums that references the part number 
 and has a 
picture of one disk. The specs say it’s  one of the following MDD models

I have the opposite problem... I managed to aquire a sealed doc pack but don't 
know what Mac it is for. However, I *think* it is for the 1.25 SP MDD 2003 
model based on the evidence.

The Setup Guide specs mention 1MB L3 Cache, PC2700 RAM, an ADC/DVI AGP4* card, 
and 2 FW400 ports, and is dated 2003.

DVD 1 is Z691-4872-A entitled 'Power Mac G4 Software Install and Restore 1 of 
2' and includes OS 10.3.2 & AHT 2.0.2 according to the label.

DVD 2 is 2Z691-4873-A entitled 'Power Mac G4 Software Install and Restore 2 of 
2'

These disks are dated 2004. I can't tell much about the contents from OS9. Disk 
1 appears to be the OS X installer, but all I can see on disk 2 is a bunch of 
PDFs.

Well yea, but I already have full retail versions of OS 9, 10.4 and 10.5 
but that's not why I made this topic, I'm interested in knowing from anyone 
that may have them about the restore discs than came with the Mac 
originally, such as what their part numbers are and also what was on that 
second disc and with regard to that second disc like I say I already have 
the restore disc but I don't have the second disc which is what I'd be 
interested in acquiring it somehow or other.

Re: PowerMac G4 Single 1.25 (June 2003 Mirror Drive Doors) Software Restore Discs

[Kris Tilford]

Since this old Macs have lost support, it’s probably a better idea to install 
the PPC version of Ubuntu Linux; or maybe better, the PPC version of Lubuntu 
(Lite version for older hardware). This would allow you to run current versions 
of browsers like Chrome or Firefox. Since Ubuntu & Lubuntu can run from a “Live 
CD” you can actually boot different versions and test drive them without 
actually installing onto a HD yet.

Here’s a link to get started:

Lubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus):
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/16.04/release/ 


It’s kinda hard to find the correct PPC versions. Be careful to get the 
“Desktop” version and not the “Server” version which lacks the GUI desktop 
(unless you want your old Mac to be a server). I was able to find a daily build 
of the PPC Ubuntu Desktop of Yakkety Yak. Here’s a link to Lubuntu Yakkety Yak 
which is probably better:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/ 


Hope this helps keep an old Mac running current software that’s safe & capable.

Best luck!

You can find full 10.3 and 10.4 OS 10 disks on eBay and the 10.4 will include 
provisions to install the "Classic" feature.

PowerMac G4 Single 1.25 (June 2003 Mirror Drive Doors) Software Restore Discs

[Xan]

Hi there. This might be a far fetched request given how old these Machines 
are these days but I don't suppose anyone's got the original software 
restore discs for one of these G4's have they? I believe (though I cannot 
seem to confirm it) there were two discs distributed with these Macs, a 
software restore DVD that I believed contained a version of OS X (probably 
10.2.x), a OS 9 classic environment installer and Apple Hardware Test (I 
think v 2.0.2). The second disc was a CD that had extra software and 
utilities, no idea what.

What I'm looking for really is information about the discs. I bought my MDD 
in 2009 secondhand and it didn't come with any discs. Someone, a long time 
ago, did very kindly send me a disc image of the restore disc for their MDD 
that was also a single 1.25Ghz like mine, and I've used that burned to a 
DVD-R for years (and it works nicely). The thing they didn't tell me was 
what the part number of the disc was. They also didn't furnish me with that 
second CD or what was on it of course so I've often wondered what was on it 
(though I didn't know it existed until recently).

What I'd be most appreciative of is any and all part numbers listed on the 
discs if anyone has the original set, so I know what to look out for when 
perusing places like ebay. I'd also as stated like to know what was on that 
second CD.

Many thanks!
