The word from Apple is this:

(btw, don't believe the 70MB disc space needed: the straight 68K install
on my 475 took 40MB, and there was plenty of stuff installed that I
could easily do without)

Mac OS 7.6: System Requirements (3/97)

======================================================================

Article Created: 11 March 1997

TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

What are the system requirements for installing Mac OS 7.6?

DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------

The following computers can install Mac OS 7.6:

* Computers with PowerPC microprocessors
* Computers with 68040 microprocessors
* Computers with "32-bit clean" 68030 microprocessors. All computers
  with 68030 microprocessors are 32-bit clean except the Macintosh
  SE/30, Macintosh IIx, and the Macintosh IIcx.

In addition, to install Mac OS 7.6, a computer must have at least 8 MB
of RAM (random-access memory). If your computer has less than 16 MB of
built-in RAM, you must use virtual memory. (Mac OS 7.6 automatically
turns on virtual memory when you install it.)

To install the recommended software, you need about 70 MB of free space
on your hard disk. To install all the optional components, you may need
up to 120 MB of disk space; if you install just the minimum set of
system software, you may only need 40 MB. The exact amount of space
needed varies for different computer models and hard disk sizes.
