Hmmm, I have a Tiger 10.4.6 dvd that I tried to run Apple Hardware Test on but no luck. I examined the DVD contents and indeed there is a Apple Hardware Test directory. I tried Option key during boot and I get the OF chooser but AHT doesn't appear as an option. Does anyone know if there is another trick to get it to boot AHT that I'm missing? Perhaps I need a more modern Tiger version? If someone has a newer install disk I can borrow for a day or two just contact me privately. Thanks!
