Somewhere on the Net, there's an SR page devoted to house rules. I _think_
you'll find it on the Shadowrun archive (http://www.interware.it/shadowrun),
but I'm not sure. If no-one else posts it, I'll dig it up for you.

One problem with your variation is that 1 in 6 of failures will be
catastrophic. That's a little high, I think.

Other variations are:
more 1s than successes, with the ratio of 1s to successes indicating the
severity of the Oops;
no successes, and the ratio of 1's to dice indicate the severity of the
Oops;
When the 1s are equal to or greater than the base skill level (good for
keeping Oops at the normal chance when there's no dice pool).

(Oh, and the RP system that used something similar was probably the Star
Wars RPG).
