 System 7 (Macintosh) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
System 7 was the first version of the Mac OS that required a hard drive for installation as a full installation was too large to fit on the capacity of a 1.44 MB floppy disk.
Another problem was System 7's large "memory footprint": System 6 could run on a single floppy disk and took up about 600 KB of RAM, whereas System 7 used well over a megabyte, and could no longer be usefully run from floppy-only machines.
System 7 also included networking and file sharing software in the form of system extensions and control panels.

 System 7
System 7.5 software requires a Macintosh computer; a hard drive with as much as 21 MB of disk space available (for installation of the complete system); and a 1.4 MB floppy drive, CD-ROM drive, or network access to the system software.
