I just spoke with somebody at LaCie tech support who said:

5.27 (which I have) works with system 7 in 24 bit mode
(so no 32-bit addressing, and no virtual memory).
I didn't ask about earlier versions!

5.28 works fine with 32-bit addressing and virtual memory (!),
EXCEPT THAT it has a bug which causes trouble if you try to
password-protect the boot volume.

5.30 (not yet available) will correct that bug, and so be
fully system-7 compatible.

I'm using 5.27 right now without any problems.
