  24. In a word, yes.
  25.  
  26. "This startup disk will not work on this Macintosh model.  Use the  
  27. latest installer to update this disk for this model.  (System 7.0.1  
  28. does not work on this model; you need a new version that does.)"
  29.  
  30. As newer models of hardware came out, they cannot boot on previous  
  31. versions of the Mac software; a new version of system software had to  
  32. be generated to support the new hardware.  This has been true for all  
  33. software releases of the Mac until Sys 7.1.  The following is from  
  34. their announcement of the release of Sys 7.1.

  39. CUPERTINO, California--October 19, 1992--Apple Computer, Inc. today
  40. announced it is shipping Version 7.1 of the widely acclaimed System 7
  41. ...
  42.  
  43.     Modular Support for New Macintosh Computers--System 7.1  
  44. incorporates
  45. a new method for supporting new models of Macintosh computers.  Until  
  46. now,
  47. Apple has modified the system software each time it has released a  
  48. new
  49. Macintosh model.  Beginning with System 7.1, Apple will ship each new
  50. computer system with a drop-in software module that enables the  
  51. currently
  52. shipping version of the operating system to automatically support  
  53. that new
  54. Macintosh computer.  Thus, customers and developers will no longer  
  55. have to
  56. worry about testing and upgrading to a new version of the operating  
  57. system
  58. every time Apple introduces a new Macintosh computer.  These software
  59. modules, called "system enablers," will be subsequently rolled into  
  60. the
  61. core operating system with the next major release.
