I have a 512K.  I'm currently running system 2.0.
The recommended system is 3.2-3.4.
I've looked at Rice and Apple.Com.
If they have old systems, I couldn't find them in either of their
directory dumps.
Any help would be appreciated.  Does umich carry old systems?
I haven't tried them yet.  Please reply via email.

I hear all this talk about 7.1.  When will it be available and where can I  
get it.  So far it sounds good.  If anyone knows....will I still need the  
tuner as I do is 7.0.1?

Sure.  Open the Monitors control panel and see what color options it gives 
you.  If you're running on a 16-inch display or smaller and you see a 
'millions' option, then you have 2 MB, otherwise you have 1 MB.  On a 
display larger than 16-inch (i.e., greater than 832 x 624) if you see a 
'thousands' option, then you have 2 MB, otherwise you have 1 MB.  The only 
two meaningful VRAM configurations for a Q950 are 1 MB and 2 MB, so this 
should cover all the options.  (I'm assuming you're not running an NTSC or 
PAL display with convolution turned on, as this would change things a bit.)

I thought I read somewhere that it was media under 2 meg.  That would mean
that if you create an extrodinarily small partition, it would have one, and
that when the 2.8 meg floppies come out, that they may not.  Then again,
maybe I am just losing it, so don't quote me on this.

Unfortunately Apple no longer provides software for this drive. :-(
Retrospect works well with it. I read in a magazine that Apple had
bundeled retrospect with the drives they sold just before they
discontinued them. 

The Apple supplied software will still do a file backup under system 7. You
just select all files.

IMHO the drive is a dog without retrospect anyway. With retrospect, it's
good enough for me. The people who developed retrospect did a wonderful job
of making it work fast.

No such release exists on any public server within Apple that I've found,
including all the standard software repositories. If they released 6.0.8L,
they did it without making it available to Apple employees, which I find
exceptionally unlikely.

Just re-installing the system may not correct the problem. What you really
need to do is trash the system (after starting up from another drive), and
do a clean install. I've had the same problem you're mentioning, and doing
the above cured the problem.

Also, interested in how to bless the folders elegantly.  Blesser

No, we're dependent instead on having a company stay in business, and

Judging from the responses to my original post it seems that Sys 6.0.8L is
unavailable (unless I fly to Australia).  Follow up question:  I went
ahead and installed 6.0.7 on my PB100 but was then informed that 6.0.8
would have been a better choice.  Why?  Does the Battery DA work properly
under 6.0.8?  (I have the most recent version of the Portable cdev

Fact.  I have it, and use it to run my Classic II when memory
considerations are paramount.  It may not be available in the US though. 
It does not support all Macintosh models, but only the Classic, Classic II,
LC, LC II and Powerbook 100 (from memory).  I obtained my copy from the
local reseller by just walking in with a couple of disks.

p.s. It DOES work on the classic II and NO I am confusing it with system
