: Negative.  Try this link:

: <ftp://ftp.apple.com/dts/aii/sys.soft/gs.system.6.0.1/>

That site has been around since time immemorial. I wouldn't expect it to be
able to handle a lot of traffic (like when the OS 8.1 update and Quicktime
3.0 came out and everyone in the free world was trying to download 'em) nor
would I expect the contents to be overly current. But then again Apple II
software isn't exactly up to date these days. The normal sites are currently
ftp.support.apple.com and ftp.info.apple.com.

: The Apple II format files are still here.  Maybe Apple simply

I doubt the TIL search page checks ftp.apple.com for the reasons I mentioned.
But the normal sites used to have Shrinkit stuffed versions of the disks.
