Has there ever been a hack to install System 6 on "unsupported"

The only thing I could find mentioned was some Japanese System 6
for the
Powerbook 100.
The reason I ask this is that I acquired some 100 Series Powerbooks
(180,180c,160, but no 100) one of which I'd like to use as a quick
writing
machine. 6.x would be a great OS for that.
The operating system must contain specific code to deal with each
model of Macintosh. If Apple hasn't programmed support for a
particular Macintosh into a particular version of the operating
system, it's unlikely there will be a way to make it work.
Apple did make a special version of System 6 (6.0.8L -- you can
Google for it if you like) for the PowerBook 100, LC, LC II and Color
Classic; those machines otherwise require System 7.0. Unlike other
versions of System 6, 6.0.8L will not work on other Macintosh models;
it will only work on these four.
