Well, I certainly don't.  I do know that 128k ROMs (i.e. Mac Plus ROMs), are
available.  Everything I've read says that a Mac Plus with 2 meg will run 
everything in System 7.0 except virtual memory, so a "hackintosh" would also
be able to run System 7.0.

Your statement is worded as fact, but your "anyone else agree?" suggests it is
only opinion.  If you don't know, ask.  Stating something as fact in hopes that
if you're wrong you'll be corrected is a damned annoying way of getting your
facts straight.
