System 6.0.4 (Finder 6.1.4, System Software Update 6.0.4) was released in September 20, 1989, and added support for the Macintosh IIci and Portable.
Features[]
The notable feature of System 6.0.4 is that it was deployed as a multi-disk install set with a unified Installer application, that could custom build your system disk based on the target hardware and desired features. Prior to 6.0.4, the disks were published with pre-configured System folders.
System 6.0.4 was also the first version of the OS to support HyperCard.
