Mig,

Have you tried Chessbase’s new 5 DVD Endgame Turbo 2?  The description says they
include some six piece tablebases.  All Nalimov endgame tablebases up to five
pieces are some 7.2 gigs, so 5 DVDs should have enough space for more than a
couple of six piece tablebases and will, obviously, be formatted for CB8 and
Fritz family use.
