It's the Oct 2009 A1283 version. This has no optical drive.
What options do I have short of buying an external DVD rom drive?
I have other imacs and air's. Can I use one of their drives to reinstall the mini? What kind of cable do I need? FW800 <--> FW800?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), i5 with Thunderbolt
Which Server OS do you want to put on the Mac Mini?
I'm putting the orig os that came with it... 10.6.8.
I found the manual online, and found I could do a remote OS install from another imac in Utilities... never saw that app before!
Anyway, thanks!
If there is another option, however, I would be interested in learning... please let me know.
Thanks
Glad you found a solution! I was going to offer a solution to copy it to a USB drive - seemed pretty straight forward.
