Alas, the only PB1xx that will (officially) run any version of sys 6 is the PB100. It will run 6.0.8L, and it does fly (comparatively speaking), although that model only has a 68000 (actually, a 68HC000, running at a blazing 16 million hertz) under the hood. As far as I know, no other PB will run any version of 6. But I haven't really tried very hard either, I have to say...the one time I tried to install some version of 6 was onto a PB140, and the installer simply refused to run. Maybe performing the installation on a compatible machine, then transferring the disk over to the PB might have a greater chance of working (but then again, twice zero is still zero). Hmmm....I sense a weekend project coming on... Thanks, Mel, for giving this list a little CPR! --Cheers, Tom -- Prof. Thomas H.
