Hi all, I just got a G4 cube. I am upgrading the harddrive, and I want to install tiger...only problem is, I need a PPC mac
tl;dr: anyone in the orange county, CA, area have a G4 era mac capable of running tiger that I can use to fw disk install tiger? PM PLEASE!!! I've been working on this for months!
Story: my buddy gave me his old cube for free. I got a monitor, keyboard, and mouse all from the same era. I installed a new HD so it would be more quiet and have more storage.
I upgraded the original HD using a disc so I have a working copy of tiger. But I can't install on the new HD; its blank, so it only accepts bootable HD tiger CDs...which are like 100 dollars. I can't firewire install using the disc I have, because its a PPC OS, and the intel macs won't even load it.
Thus, I need a PPC mac to install Tiger using FW.
So please, if you have a late model PPC that runs Tiger or later....any way we can meet up so I can firewire disc install?
edit: wrote leopard once on accident so I fixed it
