- Actually, some U.S. Mac LC's were shipped with System 6.0.6. We received
- a shipment of 16 machines--10 of which came with 6.0.6. However, this was
- a university purchase direct from Apple. I do not know if dealers received
- machines with System 6.0.6.

- To answer the original question, if your software says it requires 6.0.6 or
- greater, the minimum you should use is System 6.0.7.
