  This is indeed what the 7.0b1 release notes indicated.  However, last week
I contacted the Apple Developer Hotline and asked this question.  While they
indicated that they could not be absolutely sure that System 7's virtual
memory would work on any given machine with Compact Mac ROMs, their
engineers were working on making it as compatible as possible in later Beta
releases, and they suggested that they'd do everything they could to make VM
work on upgraded Plus machines.

  Don't give up hope just yet, it's still a way to go until 7.0 goes final.
