[Don Barber]

You tried Shift-Option-Command-R during startup? There should be a rom 
built in to reinstall on that model.

This apparently shipped with MacOS 10.7.2 (Lion) but can run up to 10.13 (High Sierra I believe.) Modern MacOS makes it impossible for me to create a bootable flash drive or DVD for some reason and I only have install disks that go up to MacOS 10.5. Long story short - I need a bootable 10.7.2 DVD or USB drive (up to 10.13 but I’d prefer to restore it to original OS), or original install/recovery disks for this machine, or definitive instructions on how to create one here on a modern Mac. I used to be able to do this easily, but now Disk Utility chokes on the process. Thoughts?  _ Bob Shuster
