Uh uh.  6.0.7 does not have bug-fixes for all models.  6.0.7 adds
compatibility with the IILC, IIsi, and classic.  Unfortunately, it
is pretty widely known that 6.0.7 also adds random system crashes.
(This was pretty widely publicized in MacWeek and MacUser.)  6.0.7
is far from bug-free, and it adds NOTHING to your plus/A-Max that
you didn't have with 6.0.5.

>No system version ever "assumes it is running on a Mac II."

True.  Maybe MacEnvy didn't know 6.0.7 and choked on it, and
subsequently reported lack of a co-processor.  Dunno.

ANYWAY, MacEnvy does work and quite well too.  System 6.0.7
doesn't, however.  I recommend installing System 6.0.5 and
using that.
