Networking Capabilities
With System 7, the AppleTalk network system supports LocalTalk, Ethernet (EtherTalk), or Token Ring (TokenTalk). Over 16 million nodes per network are provided for with AppleTalk Phase II networking. Using Macintosh file sharing, up to 10 folders per machine can be shared, each having an unlimited number of enclosed folders. Up to 10 guest users can be connected to a networked hard disk, with up to 50 guest users identified in the Users and Groups file. User management is built into the software to allow entry of user names, passwords, group memberships, and access privileges for opening and modifying files.

Memory and Storage
With 24-bit addressing, up to 8MB of physical memory can be accessed and up to 14MB of memory can be accessed with virtual memory, depending on which model Macintosh is being used. With 32-bit addressing, 1 gigabyte of physical memory is accessible (without taking into account the hardware limitations) and up to 1 gigabyte of virtual memory is accessible.

A minimum of 2MB of RAM is required to run System Software Version 7.0. The amount of memory used by System 7 alone (without any additional third party software) is 1MB to 1.25MB, depending on configuration.

Approximately 2.5MB to 4MB of disk space is consumed by System 7, depending on configuration.
