As I understand it, even a minimal system 7 does not fit on an 800K floppy. 
Yet, many times if you are having problems with a hard drive, the first step is
to boot from a floppy.  Will this be possible with machines with only 800K
floppies?  Will we have to use a system 6 floppy to rescue a system 7 machine?

Could this be why we have yet to see updates to some of the utility programs?
