I need a screensaver for System 6.0.7.

It is for an old Mac Plus which I want to run off floppies.  (System 7
is just too big and too slow.)  

There used to be a nice little screensaver for System 6 called
AutoBlack (I think).  You had to rename it Macsbug and put it into
your System Folder.  All it displayed was a clock, but it did its job
well, and I paid the $5 shareware fee happily.

Unfortunately, I can't find it on any of the archives (I tried
archie).  Does anyone have a copy of this, or can anyone suggest an
alternative?  (Freeware or cheap shareware preferred.)

I'd be most grateful if you could send info by email.  Many thanks.
