Dear all,
I bought a Titanium PowerBook G4 (PowerBook3,4) a while ago. I'd like to clean install it, and of course want to have the original software that came with it. I want to use this machine mainly with OS 9, for OS X I want to install the most recent version that's reasonable. However, I lack installation media.
I searched a long time to get hold of a set of media which looked like it is the correct one, but apparently it isn't. I booted from the software restore CD, which refuses to install anything because it is not supported on my computer.
I notice that archived CD packs can be found on the Internet, but they are all English, I'd like to have the German version.
I noticed that there is an identifier on the CD, reading: D691-3530-A. CD 2 of 2 says D691-3531-A.
Unfortunately, the OS 9 install CD (D691-3370-A) refuses to install also.
The identifier fore the whole media bundle is:
SW010902
D603-0124-B PowerBook G4 Media

I have to questions:

I have to questions:
- Frankly, I don't remember what exactly is on the software restore media. Maybe there aren't that important after all?
- Maybe someone has the same model as me with a matching set of installation media and can tell me the numbers (or maybe archive the media?)
