I tried to get system 6.0 from 3 authorized Apple dealers in the Naperville
area. This includes the dealer I spent $5000 at buying a Mac II in March.
2 of the dealers never heard of System 6.0 and 1 had it but he said that
he "wasn't ready to distribute it yet" ( I don't think he was too busy, I
was the only one in the store at the time). I had better luck getting support
when I had my Atari 1040 ST ( mild :^) ). 

I did manage to get a multifinder manual after 2 MONTHS of trying.

P.S. I have had similar luck trying to get Hypercard 1.0 upgraded.
