Recent postings and conflicting information from Apple lead me to wonder:
What really is the best system software for the Mac IIci and Portable?

The 4/15/90 AppleGram chart (which a coule of you posted) says 6.0.4 is
"best system software for the hardware model."  It recommends 6.0.5 only
for the Mac IIfx.

Yet the "Technical Information on 6.0.5" file in the Apple Color folder on
the 6.0.5 Printing Tools disk says "Apple recommends using System 6.0.5
with any of the following products:  Macintosh Portable, Macintosh IIci..."

And should we NOT recommend 6.0.5 for the other Mac models?  That's what
the AppleGram chart implies.  What's the real story?
