I've seen them on eBay before, at varying prices.  There are a few
electronics parts dealers that will still have them.  I bought a few
from Jameco recently, (wait... those were 16k chips...) but that tends
to be expensive.

6.0.1, same as all the others.

Yes.  I think the articulated/ergonomic keyboard doesn't, though.

Yes. 140k.

To get GSOS running at full tilt, you probably want to find a bigger
memory card somewhere.  1.125mb doesn't really leave a lot to
applications.  The Apple RGB monitor is a really nice companion to the
machine.
