Oh dear - if only you'd posted here first :-/  There's a nice little
utility available from *somewhere* on Apple's web site called `System
picker' which lets you choose which System Folder you want to use.  I'm
using it at the moment on my Mac Plus - it lets me keep System 6.0.8,
7.0.1, and 7.1 on the HD all at the same time (which doesn't leave much
change out of 20MB, I can tell you).  Why such perversity?  Well, I'm
fiddling around trying to find which OS is most suitable for actually
*using* a Mac Plus - is 7.0.1 any faster than 7.1?  More efficient?
Will any software actually *run* under 6.0.8?

Deep joy :-)
