Hello.

Have you heard about the service called A2Central.com?

A2Central.com is my guidebook for life...

Sorry, I'm having flashbacks to KFest 2000. :-)

Seriously, though, have you tried A2Central.com?  If you go to:

     http://www.a2central.com

and follow the Downloads link then the Apple System Software link and
agree to Apple's license agreement, you'll be at a page with the Apple
IIgs System 6.0.1 disks, as well as other system software, in both
ShrinkIt and DiskCopy format.  The DiskCopy formats are available in
both SIT and ZIP format so you can choose which one you'd like to use.

If that doesn't help you, you can also use the link near the top of
the download page to get disks mailed to you.
