You CAN use Sleeper (parts of it anyway) on a 512, Plus, SE and Classic.
Here is some info on sleeper gleaned from it's documentation:
Sleeper will work on any Performa, Macintosh, iMac, PowerMac, PowerBook, or
iBook running System 7 through Mac OS 9.2.2. The screen saver feature
requires a color-capable Macintosh, and Energy Star support requires an
Energy Star compliant Macintosh (any Mac on which Apple's Energy Saver
control panel works) and an Energy Star capable monitor.
Sleeper works by changing the monitor's gamma table, which controls the
brightness of the signals that drive the display. Doing this requires
Color Quickdraw and GDevice support for your monitor(s), so Sleeper's
screen dimming will not work on the "compact" Mac models (512, Plus, SE,
Classic). If you use Sleeper on one of these machines, the screen saver
will be disabled, but the disk sleep and password features will still work.
Sleeper only requires 100K of RAM to provide all its capabilities. These
features include:
Hard disk sleep
Energy Star monitor support
Password screen locking
A very frugal screen saver
Timed sleep and shutdown
Configurable hotkey options
Support for the Sleep command in the Finder's Special menu
Kaleidoscope and Mac OS 9 compatibility
PowerMac-native support for both IDE and SCSI disks
Support for multiple IDE and SCSI buses
Full SCSI Manager 4.3 compliance
