The six disks for installation of Sys 6.0.1 were available on GEnie.Time using GEnie was more expensive during the day... so I would get upearly and start the download of one of the six disks via Xmodem... a littlemore than an hour later the download was complete... used Shrinkit tocreate the 800k disk.  Five more days and I had all six disks.     Now, using Marinetti, SAFE2, an ethernet card, and a broadbandconnection the IIgs can download files in much less time.
