     68K machines was?  Where can I get a copy? 
That would be System 6.0.8, and you should be abe to
download it from Apple's FTP site. Try navigating
through the stuff at http://mirror.apple.com/. 
        Actually, up to System 7.5.5 easily runs on 68k Mac's such as
 Quadra 605's (which use a 68040).  I believe System 8.1 will also run
 on some 68k Mac's though 8.5 requires a PPC.  For a minimalist
 machine, System 7.1 certainly runs well. 
A camel train has less latency than this list!
