Low End Mac says yes. I'd think you'd want to unearth the 8MB memory card so it wouldn't run like molasses in January.

The machine runs the original OS 6.0.8 along with Word 4.0, Mac Draw, Excel 3.0 and a CAD/CAM application I still use today in my CNC machine shop. In the shop we use a Quadra 650 with 7.5.5 to communicate with the machining centers. I want to know if I can put 7.5.5 on the Portable? Even though last century I did these upgrade installations many times but I no longer remember how. As I recall it was done without losing any applications or extensions on the older system. I want to do this so I can use the Portable too kinda for fun:-) I found a complete set of disks on eBay, 18 in all including the 7.5.5 updates and tools. Can this be done?
