If, as has been suggested, you wouldn't be able to run system 7.0
without a hard disk, then there would be no way to FORMAT your hard
disk when it was installed unformatted, there would be no way to boot
from a floppy when your hard disk went ou;t [sic -- damn apple
keyboard] to lunch, etc.

Granted that system 7.0 might not be very friendly on a floppy-only
system, but there is NO WAY anyone is going to make a computer system
that relies on a working hard disk to run.

IMHO, of course -- I am not an apple employee, nor have I seen 7.0.
This posting is purely optimism.
