I collect versions of the Mac OS, and I am missing a few updates. I can't seem to find them on Apple's websites. References to appropriate locations turn up nothing as far as I've seen. The updates are:

10.0.1 Update
10.0.2 Combo Update
10.0.3 Combo Update
10.0.4 Combo Update

10.1.4 Combo Update

If anyone knows of where I can get these, legitimately, or has a copy hanging around, I'd appreciate a heads up. PM me if you've got any leads. Thanks!

Look harder.

Hehe, thanks. I can't believe I didn't notice or didn't look there.

Still looking for most of them, though. If anyone has any other sources, please let me know.

I'm curious why you are the least bit interested in 10.0.x updates. Very few people are still running 10.0, and if they are, it's because they don't have a clue. People like that aren't likely to buy new versions of software ( and you don't want to limit a program to 10.0's APIs anyway ). As a technician, I strongly believe that you should be offering to upgrade the machine to 10.1.5. And even that is limited. 10.2 introduced weak linking, so a developer wanting their binary to support 10.1.5 has to limit everyone to 10.1.5's capabilities. If the developer requires 10.2 or higher, that developer can take advantage of newer features on newer systems, while still offering support for older systems.

Unless of course you are just curious, and then that's fine.

^ I tossed my 10.0 and 10.1 CDs for precisely that reason. Forget novelty; I would never consider installing those on my older systems when I have Panther and Tiger.

It's definitely not a matter of utility, at least as far as I can reasonbly anticipate. No, I just collect every version of both the classic Mac OS and OS X, and these are the OS X updates I'm missing for one reason or another. It's only for fun, but one never knows when you'll need to reproduce a bug under 10.0.3.

And if you were wanting to install something other than the newest version of OS X on an older system, why not install Linux? This is, of course, assuming it's not a machine that's used much anyway.
