As
Limnos posted, If you call
Apple Customer Service
1-800-767-2775, and provide the
serial number of the
Mac, you may be able to purchase replacement
original system discs.
However, those will be for the version of
OS, that was pre-installed when manufactured.
But, they will contain the bundled software, that is not included in a
Full Retail Version, of a newer
OS X. The
Apple Hardware Test, specific to the
Mac model, will also be included.
Then you may get lucky and score the correct discs from
eBay.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Only purchase the
Full Retail Version, of the
Tiger Install DVD.
The discs should look
exactly like the images in the above links, and not say
Upgrade,
CPU Drop-in DVD, or
"This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Caveat Emptor!
Examine the available discs very carefully, and if in doubt ask questions of the seller before purchase!
