Hi,
I am using a PC Compatibility Card on my 7200 with system 8.6. What breaks
after 8.1 is the PC networking connection. You have two choices:
1) There is a freeware PC Network Extension 1.6.5 (that replaces the version
that comes with Apples PC Setup 1.6.4) available at:
http://summary.net/soft/PC-CardOS8.5NetPatch.sit.hqx
I use this and it works.
2) PC Setup 2, a commercial replacement for the Apple software that lest you
use up to OS 9.2, is now available free at:
http://www.pcsetup2x.com/index.html
I have not used this although I keep meaning to try it.
There is a good FAQ about all this at:

Good luck,
Simon Horn
(and now for something completely different, for you train enthusiasts,
try the Bermuda Railway Pages at: www.bermudarailway.net )
