I really haven't done any research on it, but I think System 6.0.8L was
used for computers like the Mac Classic II and the Color Classic, which
also had 68030 processors like the PowerBook 170. That's why I asked.
I don't know if it was so much that those machines were underpowered for
System 7, but rather that I don't think System 7 was entirely ready when
the machines were released in certain markets.
Don't get me wrong: System 7.1 is great on the PowerBook, but I'm guessing
it would be 50% "snappier" using my fave, System 6! :-)
It would be great if someone could do a modification... [sigh]

I'd love to have System 6 on my PB170, but (and correct me if I'm wrong) I
was under the impression that 6.0.8L was released for certain 68000 machines
which were woefully under equipped for the OS of the day (ie. System 7). It
was a generous gesture from Apple. I simply wish they went that extra step
and gave us a System 6 capable PB170!
