	Every Mac Plus, Every Mac SE with adequate RAM installed is
	"already" System 7 capable..the "only" feature of System 7
	that I am aware of that Mac Plus and Mac SE owners will not
	be able to take advantage of is Virtual Memory. Apple is not
	trying to isolate people or force them into buying new hardware
	to be System 7 compatable, they already are if they take the
	time to add sufficient ram to run it.
