I've just confirmed that my Classic II, running OS 6.0.8L, has a total memory of 10,240KB, the largest >free block is 9,102KB, Finder uses 160KB, while the system uses 978KB. Does this elevate the Classic II >from "Road Apple" status as a OS 6 machine? :-)
In my book no Mac that can run system 6 is a road apple. Running system 6 neutralizes one of the most important weaknesses the LC II and the Classic II have: not being able to recognize more than 10 mb Ram.
So if I could get OS 6.0.8L to run on my IIci, could I get it to recognize more than 8MB?
Forget it. 6.08L probably won't install on it anyway. See gamba's system 6 page for ideas on how to deal with to much memory or setup a ram disk and make your mac fly.
I don't know about the "L" but 6.0.8 should install on a IIci, or at least 6.0.7 will. Once upon a time there was some software that would let you use up to 14Mb on a IIci and others of that vintage. It did it by snagging the space normally allocated to NuBus slots.
