Yes, I might be able to get 7.5 or 7.5.3 on it, since macintosh garden has disk images which should work and apple has files for download. I'm a little wary of that though, as I'd hate to scrap a working install for an unworking one. Are there are other tools to detect attached/connect hardware for this era of mac? I got the card off ebay actually, and the contacts seemed ok last I checked. Are there any sure ways of checking the card or the slot for problems (I don't have any other cards)?
