Can someone help? If so, please contact me directly.
Does it have to be 6.0.4 specifically? First place to try would be
Jag's House: <http://www.jagshouse.com/>.
Another resource for old Mac OS files is Gamba's site, the link to
which is not to be posted, so Google will have to be your friend, there.
Jag used to have instructions for getting old Mac system software onto
bootable media using Windows, IIRC.
From an XP machine, you'll need these:
Rawrite:
ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-7.0/bootdsks.144/RAWRITE.EXE
Stuffit expander:
ftp://ftp.ucalgary.ca/pub/micros/win95/util/ALEX511.EXE
Here's how I do it:
1) Get the appropriate *.sea.bin files from Apple's website. Make sure
you get the 1.4MB images because you won't be able to write the 800k
images unless you have a Catweasel, and even then, I'm not sure how to do
it.
2) Make a new directory and Unstuff the disk image there.
3) Unstuff the resulting .sea.data file and you should get a file named
"System Startup" or "System Additions" depending on which image you
unstuffed.
4) Execute "dd if=System\ Startup of=/dev/fd0 bs=84 skip=1" or use
Rawrite.
