Install Disks for Powerbook G4/1.5 12"

ruby juice

Does anyone know where I could get my hands on install disks for a Powerbook G4/1.5 Aluminum 12"?

I'm resurrecting my old laptop, having replaced the harddrive but now I need to reinstall the OS and can't find the original install disks. Apple were no help - they said as the machine is 7 years old now they wouldn't have them in stock to replace. I've been keeping an eye on eBay but the disks only come with old G4s which sells for up to €100, I don't have this sort of money to send on disks.

Anyone any ideas or old disks they'd be willing to sell?

If you can get your hand on a copy of Tiger or Leopard, it will do the same job for you.

I've tried this. The restore discs are model specific, and therefore not other machine's discs will work, even Powerbook G4 15" & 17" disks will not work!
