No.  System 7.0 is for all Macs.  There will be some features that will
not be available without a 68030 or a 68020+PMMU (virtual memory), and
System 7.0 will require 2 Meg of memory.

The only Macs that will have trouble are the Mac 128 and the Mac 512.  But
most of those machines were left behind when HFS was introduced....

BTW, most Macs should not use 6.0.7 according to what I have read in
MacWeek.  Only use 6.0.7 if you need it for a IIsi, LC, or Classic.
(There might be other reasons to run 6.0.7 that I am not aware of.)
