I was able to succesfully do this on an SE with a System file from 6.0.7.

System 7 is very well done!  Thanks to Mark Johnson et. al. for being
able to ftp!

But Sys7 is ssssllllloooowww on an SE - I may be looking at
the SE -> SE/30 upgrade.  Have the prices of 3rd party accelerators
come down in the wake of Apple's price drop?  Seems kind of crazy 
to buy a card for $500, when you can get the whole motherboard
swapped for $999.

Any info out there?
