While Apple is in the process of phasing out Phase I, it isn't dead yet.  You  
can even get the Phase I module from Applelink "for system 7" if you want (I  
think it's in the system 7 info folder).  The file you'll download is exactly  
the same as what we were using under system 6.

It's quite possible that the driver might not work with 32-bit addressing or  
with virtual memory, but if you don't have those on then you should be able to  
use it with system 7 and without your fingers crossed.

That might change whenever system 7.1 shows up, of course, so it would be  
prudent to switch over to Phase II sometime soon.
