I believe several versions of 6.0.x are on ftp.apple.com.
Hopefully they still are, but with Apple's obcession with code
bloat^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H the latest and greatest, they might pull it off
someday becuase 6.0.x is too old and too small. :)
(Actually, I've run 7.1 in under 1 MB on a IIsi, but it's the way
extensions take up memory. IMO, the Mac memory allocation scheme is
terrible and needs replaceing. A true virtual memory subsystem would do
MacOS a world of good on newer Macs, and who wants to run Apple's latest
on the old Mac's anyway? I'd rather take System 6 on a '040 mac over
System 7 on an old mac... too bad Apple put in the System 6
Dis^H^H^H^H^HEnablers in.)

who thinks Apple has lost touch with the education market, being
that their cheapest full system is $1500 these days, even at education
prices.
