I want to be able to boot from the hard drive, so I might as well put 
the best system for the MacPlus on it, which would appear to be 6.0.8, 
but at present it wont boot from the HD regardless of what system I put 
on it. I presume I can install a system by just dragging the system 
folder from a floppy?
