Hi everyone. The 10.4 discs that came with my iMac, for example, have the words Mac OS version 10.4 in a block of small print on the discs themselves. Ditto the 10.3 discs I have from the time I used that system on a G3 iMac.
I'm pretty sure the supplied system discs always say in small print which system they contain. If you own 10.5 discs that *came with* a ppc G5 iMac they will probably be grey, whereas over the counter later-bought 10.5 discs (ie not supplied with a computer) will be black. Either of these would suit my requirements whereas 10.5 discs supplied with an aluminium Intel Mac would not. I know I could buy the software on Amazon but being recently unemployed rather precludes frivolous spending on such things! Thanks for all help so far!
