Great News!

After trying the NAD and seeing it fail the same way- I made the only logical conclusion- it was the floppy. So I pulled the floppy from the PB150 that I have (amazing how floppy tech changed from the 180 to the 150) and make it work- and it booted System 7.1 Pro!

Sadly, the Powerboot75 wouldn't boot for me- BUS Error. But I made the 7.1Pro Disk Tools, put on the patched HD SC Setup and added in the System Enabler 113, booted my 180 and formatted the PowerMonster card.

So now I'm just imaging the rest of the 7.1 Pro disks and will install.

Thanks for the tips and help getting past this- I just need to find a PB 180/160 Drive now so I can put this all back together. The PB150 Floppy works but won't mount in the PB180 case without some heavy mods.
