No, I'd be willing to bet that you can't.  Here is one of my
experiences:  I have a Mac+ running MacServe with SuperLaserSpool
running on it.  Both of these take memory and because of these
(especially the laser spooler) I cannot run HyperCard in full mode, I
can only go 1 past browse.  I'd be willing to bet that 512K is not
even close enough.
