Quality computers system 6.0 book chapter1 page 2 
"System 6 requires a minimum of 1.25 megabytes of ram with ROM 01 (the
standard configuration plus a 1 megabyte expantion card), or 1.125
megabytes of ram on ROM 03 (the standard configuration), and a single 3.5"
drive, a hard disk drive is highly recommended (hard drive installations
requires 2 megabytes of ram). Additionall memory and/or additional 3.5"
drive are highly recommended. System 6 also supports many other
peripherals, including printers, modems, 5.25" drives, and modems." 

6.0.1 needs the same or less? i don't know, i have never been able to get
it to work on any of my 3 IIgs machines.
