004- Where and how do I get GS System 6.0.1?
Small Installation
For a small System 6.0.1 that will boot from a single 800k diskette and fit on a ROM-01 or ROM 3 IIgs with at least 1MB of RAM, you can obtain ...
GS_Sys601small_SingleDiskForROM1.zip or
GS_Sys601small_SingleDiskForROM3.zip
from the GS WorldView archive at http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Sel/ . For info and download links click on "Getting GS System 6.0.1". (The the standard patches to fix HFS.FST and Text Edit bugs are already applied.)
Standard Installation
You can obtain the set of GS System 6.0.1 disks in convenient Apple II ShrinkIt form from GS WorldView's archive at http://apple2.org.za/gswv/a2zine/Sel/ . For info and download links click on "Getting GS System 6.0.1".
This distribution comes with the standard patches to fix HFS.FST and Text Edit bugs already applied.
The set of six diskettes plus Directions and Release Notes is also available in a single .zip file from Asimov at ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/gs/ (file: system601.zip).
You can also download the GS System 6.0.1 disks as Mac self-extracting archives from AppleComputer at ...
http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html .
Each disk in the Sys 6.0.1 folder is a Macintosh self-extracting archive (.sea file) of a Disk Copy 800K ProDOS disk image. According to Apple's directions: "To use, download, double-click the downloaded file (this decompresses it), and use Disk Copy to create a disk Disk Copy can be found in the Utilities folder posted here."
A possible hitch is that Mac .sea files must be executed on a Mac to self-extract. (GS-ShrinkIt can create .sea files which self-extract on a IIgs; but, these are not the same as Mac .sea files.)
The set of GS System 6.0.1 disks is available from the Apple II Beginner's Guide site in a single 2.7MB .sit archive file named "GSOS.sit" at ...
http://GabrielMorales.net/Apple2/Files/ .
Uncompressing the file-- on a PC you can use Aladdin Expander-- yields a folder containing the disks in diskcopy form. On a IIgs, you can use Clone or Diskcopy to convert the files to 800k diskettes (once their filetype is set to $E0, auxtype: $0005).
IIgs emulator users can obtain the System 6.0.1 disks in ready-to-go .2MG form inside a single .zip file from the XGS archive at ...
http://www.inwards.com/xgs/archives.html . (Look for GS/OS 6.0.1)
For use on a real IIgs, the .2MG disk images can be converted to diskette form via Asimov2.
If you prefer to purchase the set of diskettes, you can do so from A2 Central.com at http://www.a2central.com/ (click on "Shop").
Another way to get System 6.0.1 is to order a Focus hard drive with System 6.0.1 installed.from Alltech at http://allelec.com/ (click on "Apple II Products").
