PowerBook G3 Series: Apple System Profiler

The PowerBook G3 Series (M4753) is shipping with a new version of Apple System Profiler. The new version supports the reading of serial number and software bundle numbers from the hard disk configuration. This data is stored in the hard drive and will remain there until you perform a low-level format of the hard disk drive.



Here is a closer view of the serial number and software bundle number. This data should also help correlate the machine's configuration with the user's proof of purchase.


If this data is not there or says not applicable (as it does above). This means that the user has done a low level format of their hard drive. There is no harm to losing the information here. It does not affect the warranty or support.

Here is the report generated by Apple System Profiler 1.4 on a PowerBook G3 Series M6477LL/A.
