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.) - Chad, who thinks Apple has lost touch with the education market, being that their cheapest full system is $1500 these days, even at education prices. > > Also, System 7.0 is actually available from ftp.apple.com, so you don't even > need to buy it. > > > =================================================================93======= > + ^ + | Ray Arachelian |"They that can give up essential| \-_ _-/ | > \|/ |sunder@escape.com|liberty to purchase a little| \ -- / | > <--+-->| |temporary safety, deserve neither|6 _\- -/_ 6| > /|\ | Just Say |liberty nor safety." |----\ /---- | > + v + | "No" to the NSA!| - Benjamin Franklin| \/ | > =======/---------------------------------------------------------VI------/ > /GCS d++(---)(-) H s+++/++ !g !p !au a- w-(+) (!v|v) C+++++ L++ V+/ > /P?
