The easiest (and IMHO best) solution to this problem is to go to www.allelec.com
and for $69 purchase the focusdrive IIgs, which has system 6.0.1 already
on it. These drives are great. You'll need at least a 4 mb memory expander
to run it though.
Alternately, if you go to
http://www.byteworks.org/APDA/system.htm you can
buy the system disks directly. If you need the 4 meg expansion board or any
other accessories do please let me know, I have a GS that's been dropped that
I'm parting out. Unfortunately I already swiped its SCSI interface and disk
for my apple 2e, so I don't have a hard disk to sell. I have (if memory
serves) a 4mb expansion card, printer card, and a few floppy drives, as well
as a GS that may or may not work.

What does this do? Perhaps we could trade amiga hardware for GS hardware?
