There are a couple of places you can download the System 6.0.1
disks.
You can download System 6.0.1 disks from Apple at ...
ftp://ftp.apple.com/dts/aii/sys.soft/gs.system.6.0.1/
The disks are in the from of binscii (.bsc) files of ShrinkIt disk
archive files which include a Binary II header (i.e. binscii-ed .bxy
files). These can un-binscii-ed and unshrunk on your Apple IIgs.
An easier route for most users is to download the shrinked disk
files and Install directions from the Asimov-GS archive at ...
ftp://apple.cabi.net/pub/applegs/System/Sys601INSTALL/
The .sdk files just need to be unshrinked to diskettes via GS-ShrinkIt
or 8-bit ShrinkIt.
