To all, I have been using System 6.0.8 and Finder 6.1.8 on an offline IIci since 1989. I have installed 32MB memory after trying 128MB with no appreciable increase in performance.
My internal HD is 1 GB. I use three partitioned 2 GB external HDs for periodic backup. I bought them at very low prices. Each has the following three OS installed: 6.0.8, 7.5.3 and 7.6.1 and all work. System 6.0.8 will only use the first 16MB but OS 7.5.3 or 7.6.1 use the whole of memory. I use RAM Doubler with all three systems My online CPU is a 533 DP G4 DA.

Also, when I check "About This Finder", it shows the following: Finder: 6.1.8System: 6.0.8 Is that normal for the Finder and the System to show different versions? I've never seen that before.
