This isn't true.  As I explain in detail in the manual, all you have to do 
is copy System and Finder from the 6.0.5 System Tools disk to an 800K 
floppy along with a copy of Disinfectant.  This is what I call your "Virus 
Tools" disk.  My virus tools disk has 44K free.  This a perfectly usable 
startup floppy which will work on all Macs. This isn't at all complicated 
or difficult.
