In a Classic, system 6.0.8 in in the rom. So while I forget the sequence of keys to push, you can boot to system 6 even without an os on the hd. There are still lots of progs for system 6 out there on the web for free.

As a retirement gift I got a Mac Classic from our storage closet. I'm probably going to set it up on Friday but I wiped the hard drive two months ago. As such, I need to install an OS and then some programs. I am torn between System 6 and System 7. 6 has a speed advantage but 7 has more features. The Mac has 2MB of RAM, which I know is more than enough for 7 and one program (I lived off an SE like this for months in 1995!) and I don't do a whole lot of multitasking. The HD is 40MB. I need some input so I know what disks to take with me. ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
