  In SilverLining's documentation, they say that different versions of
Mac systems can be on different partitions, and they suggest renaming
the partition and rebooting as a way of quickly switching systems.  I've
done it myself (of course, not with System 7).  I was surprised that
MacUser didn't mention this as a possible (and inexpensive) method 
to have both Sytstems 6 and 7.

  I wouldn't think that you'd need an upgrade of SilverLining to 
handle System 7.  (But then, I've been wrong before).
