Apple Macintosh System 6.0.8 Complete Set of 1.4M Install Disks for Classic Macs


These are 1.4 MB disks and will only work in machines that are System 6 compatible AND have a 1.4MB floppy drive (see list below).

If you have an older machine with an 800K drive (Plus, SE, original Mac II), I have this software on 800K disks in my other listings.


This operating system is one of many pieces of older software that Apple previously released to the public as a free download. However, many collectors have trouble getting this software onto media that can be used by their vintage Mac, due to differences in file systems & physical connectivity that exist between these machines and modern computers. I offer these disks as a solution to that problem.


Please be advised that while this software can be obtained by the public free of charge, it is still the intellectual property of Apple Computer, Inc, and I claim no rights to it. What you are purchasing in this listing is only the disks themselves, and my service of transferring the software onto those disks.


These 1.4MB disks are formatted and written using a real vintage Mac, are tested on a different machine than the one that wrote them, and will work properly as long as your machine's floppy drive is in good repair. If you have not cleaned the heads & lubricated the drive's eject mechanism since acquiring the machine, you must do so before using these disks. If you skip this step, dust buildup on the heads will scratch the media & render the disks unreadable.


The operating system on these disks can be used/installed on the following vintage Mac computers:

  • IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIfx, IIsi
  • SE/30
  • SE FDHD
  • Portable
  • Classic
  • LC
  • LC II

Although not officially supported (or guaranteed by me), some have also reported success installing System 6.0.8 on slightly newer machines, such as the early PowerBook models.
