Ah, I was misinformed. That's good to know. Thanks!
I found where I got the (incorrect) bit of info about the FDHD ROMs:
http://vintagemacworld.com/drives.html
All of the other references about using the drive pointed to System 6. I guess it was perhaps because once users got into the System 7 era the need for a 360K 5.25" drive was fading a bit. Now that I look at this page having planned this project it does make me wonder more about the Orange and AST PC cards. It would be cool to have a DOS compatibility card running on "the ultimate system 6" machine. :ii:
That is also good to know about the Apple Scanner. The software that comes with the scanner itself is not system 7 compatible. I found that Apple did release new drivers for System 7 although those only work in 24-bit addressing mode (which for an old Mac isn't a bit deal).
