I booted a Mac disk in a Mac Plus at the dealer the other day, if that
answers your question.  4.1 finder and all.

You can't take advantage of the 800k drive with the standard 4.1 though.
4.1 barfs when you get too many files on a volume. I suppose you could have
lots of LARGE files.

But, why not run the new finder? If you leave your hard disk configured
as several MFS volumes, finder 5.x will still treat them as such while
allowing you to use HFS on the 800k floppy.
