6.0.3: From the text file: "This software has been made available for customers who have 1MB of memory, or less." Apple then lists the Mac Plus and SE (among others). They don't list the 512Ke, but the "or less" clause is, no doubt, a reference to the 512Ke (and equivalent upgrades to the 128K and 512K) ... I've tested it on my 512Ke and it works great (using WriteNow 2.2).
Thanks for that titbit. I've tried in the past to squeeze System 6 onto a 400KB disk to boot a 512K (not 512Ke). The system just fits but there are some system resources missing so the Mac hangs shortly after booting. I was using 6.0.2 (I think) but 6.0.3 sounds more promising. It probably won't work without 128KB ROMs but its worth a try.
The installation disk for MacTCP 1.0, which requires System 6, contains an installer script for the 512Ke so obviously someone at Apple was aware that System 6 ran on the 512Ke.
