System 7.1 is an outdated piece of junk. On the other hand, 7.5 (which is
the last version for an SE and SE/30) can be pared down to a very small
footprint in memory and hard disk space. I run 7.5.5 on my SE and SE/30
and even my Plus with great results. And 7.5 will be easier to track down
as well.
