Kind of a chicken-and-egg deal here. Download the system software and use the
HFS FST in the system software to transfer the system software to your machine.

Didn't I hear way back about a bug in 6.0's HFS FST which causes it to puke
when reading files in newline mode and not to use GSCII on files on HFS volumes
because of this?
