Does anyone know what the part numbers for the install discs that would have been supplied with a June 2003 MDD? I refer to the very last G4 Apple ever released, configured by default with a Single 1.25 CPU and could boot OS 9 natively.

Download Mac OS Power Mac G4 (Quicksilver 2002) complete restore disc set for Mac G4HardwareTestV124.toast.zip (8.36 MiB / 8.77 MB) Mac OS 9 - Mac OS X / Toast image, zipped.
I've done a lot of digging on this subject and from what I've found, it seems like there was only one disc supplied. I'm not sure about this though but it seems previous models of the G4 apparently came with multiple discs as part of the software package, such as the restore disc and a seperate Apple Hardware Test disc. But as I say as far as I can tell, the late MDD's models came with a solitary DVD that had all of it on there including the Software installations for OS X (10.2.3) and the OS 9.2.2 classic environment as well as Apple Hardware Test (version 2.0.2 apparently was only for MDD Macs released in 2003). Also hidden on the disc was an image called OS 9 general that actually had a specific bootable version of OS 9.2.2 on it.
The only part number related to this that I can come up with is I *think* 691-4161-A. I've found several references to earlier part numbers but they seem to be related to earlier models of the G4 and in fact earlier models of the MDD too. So, does anyone know if any of this is that correct? Thanks.

Power Mac G4 Os Compatibility
I SOLD MY OLD G3 300MHZ RUNNING OS 9.1 RUNNING WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS FOR YEARS !
NOW I BOUGHT A NEW G4 867MHZ DP AND INSTALLED OSX 10.2. WITH A HUGE PROBLEM !! MY CLASSIC OS X CAME IN GERMAN ! ( i dont even speak german! but lets continue )(i just got it shipped out of germany) Now i want to take my old (english) OS 9.1 & 9.2.2 install CD's out my closed (that i payed a lot of money for ), to install a english version of OS 9. ( for the use of classic ) BUTT..THE INSTALL CD KEEPS FIRING UP AN ALERT SAYING, 'THIS SOFTWARE CAN NOT BE INSTALLED ON THIS MAC'!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ALSO WHEN I BOOTED FROM THE OS 9 or 9.2.2 CD !!) i even called my friends to ask for their os 9 cd's and its the same thing with those os 9 cd's also ! HOW DO I GET MY OS 9 (english version) INSTALLED NOW ON THIS MAC ? WELL !!! FOR THOSE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ,I FOUND OUT THAT ITS NOT POSSIBLE !! ( the only way is to get english so called 'restore' cd's !that normaly comes with these new mac's ) APPLE MADE THE NEW G4'S AND NEXT GENERATION'S TO COME INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE OLD MAC OS SYSTEMS !!!!! ONLY OS X IS ABLE TO INSTALL ON IT !! AND THE CLASSIC OS 9 + (9.2.2) ? IS ONLY ABLE TO INSTALL WITH THE 'RESTORE' CD'S THAT COME'S WITH THESE NEW MAC'S !!! THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THEY WANT TO FORCE OS X ON THE MARKED !!! (GREAT SYSTEM BUT SOME FOLKS ARE COMFTIBALE WITH THE OLD SYSTEM!THATS WHY THEY MADE A SPECIAL CLASSIC (OS9) VERSION FOR THIS NEW SYSTEM !) SO THAT PEOPLE WHO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY OVER THE YEARS ON OS 9 SOFWARE + hardware still can use their applications..(to me this whole forcing of using os x stinks) i say let the people choose what system they want to use.. THNX ! GREETINGS! Comments are closed.
