Thanks for the kind words g/re/p. You are correct of course about my being a little over the top but I was angry. Its morning now and I'm still here but will probably carefully review future postings. Ralph

My only "motive" is to try and help my fellow man. I rebuild and "give" computers to children who can't afford them on a regular basis. If this is the reaction to my attempts to save someone money by giving them something I no longer need I will pass on this forum. I have enjoyed it--now not so...

I don't know either. When I purchased them I was told they would work on any eMac with a 1 Ghz or better CPU and not with those with slower CPU's. It worked on mine beyond that I don't know. Everyone have a nice day. Ralph

I might add I am not even charging postage so what does the OP have to lose?

All I know is it booted my eMac and installed on it. The printing on the cd's read eMac Mac Install Disk 1 Mac Install Disk 2 OS version 10.4 2Z691-5518-A and 2Z691-5493-A These are gray machine specific disk and come in an envelope with a part # PD06302005 (2Z603-7654-A) eMac Media...

OK, one more time--I am offering my complete set of machine specific OS 10.4 disk for 1 Ghz or faster eMacs for FREE. Just contact me so I know where to send them. I will even throw in a copy of the eMac Users Guide. If you want these let me know. Ralph

Left handed--use the mouse in my left hand (seems natural to me). You can program the buttons switched but I never felt the need. Also the saying goes---left handed/right thinker Ralph

Hi, Email me at rjm713@gmail.com and I'll send you my copy. Just pass it on to someone else in need when you are through with it. Ralph

Thats the way I understand it works. Good luck--here is an url to Apple on the procedure. Ralph http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661

If you can copy files in the target disk mode can't you reformat the drive also? I believe the people who load dvd software on cdrom computers use that method. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Ralph

Deltamac is correct. I have purchased OEM retail software for many Builds and it works perfectly. Once installed however you cannot move it to another machine--in fact you usually have to call MS if you replace the motherboard. The OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Ralph

Plenty of copies available on ebay. I would suggest the OP be careful to obtain a copy that will work with his hardware. Ralph

Received and installed. Only glitch was the need to reinstall my printer software---everything else works so far. A check of get info before and after showed a gain of 14Gb in drive space. Ralph

That's to allow you to delete the body of the message by clicking on the x to keep from sending the message back to the originator when replying to the message. I find it very useful myself--YMMV. Ralph

Hi, I'm not sure if it would help but ifixit has a number of repair guides with photos taking you through dis-assembly and reassembly. Ralph http://www.ifixit.com/

Hi, I have a set of 4.1 disk for a 1Ghz or faster eMac. You can have them for $25.00 shipped and I'll throw in an owners manual. Ralph rj713@mac.com

Plus 1 to DeltaMac--sometimes you get lucky and would still be tax free. Ralph

On the other hand buying refurb won't get me the $420 trade in for my Emac which makes the new one cost less than $200 with the 4GB of ram.

Ebay or Powermax
