Yes you are correct, it was my mistake.

Not true, 7.6 will only run on '030s that are 32bit clean, those that
are not must run 7.5.5.
>> PowerPC 601/603/604 9.1
> google for Xpostfacto.
Which is a manner of hacking the system which I noted I was not
including in my list. You can also use a 3rd party system hack to run
7.6 on non-32bit clean systems as was noted by another list member.
>> Paid upgrades are as follows: 7.0
> Only at 7.5.3 did apple start charging
You might be right there ... I can't recall if 7.1 ["System 7 Pro"] was
charged for or not. I know that 7.6 was charged for and it was not the
first.
