OS 8.6 was never available as a commercial release. A handful were distributed as part of a free upgrade for those who purchased Apple hardware immediately before its release, hence its scarcity. The rest of us downloaded the upgrade for OS 8.5, which shouldn't be too hard to find. <URLs deleted> HTH, paul -- Paul F. Henegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------- Hi Paul, Apple typically offers a $20 CD for folks who can't or don't want to download a major OS update. I have a few of them, but I don't know for sure that happened with 8.6. I strongly suspect that it did, however. Often these CDs contain 'extras' that are not included in the download. Some machines shipped with 8.6 although the iMac I bought on the release date had 8.5 installed. I am pretty sure (like you) that there was never a general retail version. -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
