No!  Get yourself a free upgrade direct from Apple 8^) *claps* *claps* *claps*
*claps*  Anonymous FTP to Apple.COM and the 6.0.5 system software is under
/pub/dts/sw.license directory.  Below is the (sort of) snapshot of the
directory.

Notice the size of each file!  Those 605i-xxx is imaged file generated from
DiskCopy so you will need to get diskcopy-4-1.hqx and have floppies ready for
de-image (or un-image, sp?) after you de-BinHex (or un-BinHex, more sp?).  So
have much, much disk spaces ready!  And don't forget the last file, you are
required to get it and read it (eventhough you don't have to sign, seal, and
deliver to Apple 8^) ).
