PM 7200 has OF 1.05.  The display device is /Platinum and the /
.properties claims to be 7300 compatible.  I'll print it out when I get
home.  I expect that support for the 601 is most of what you'd need to 
get it working on a 7200, at least with a serial console.

Dunno about the 7500.  When I get the new brain for it, I'll check.
I expect that it does, since it's a PCI Mac (like the 7200).  When
I get the new brain for it, I'll try booting NetBSD on it, too.
(My 7500 came from an auction and they had stripped it clean including
the processor board and clock battery.  I've got an XLR8 G3/300/200 on 
the way.)

Correct on the 7500 & 7200 (although Apple has a motherboard replacement 
upgrade to make a 7200 a 7600[1].  Note the dates on that article.)

According to AppleSpec[2], the PM7300s came with a 604e at speeds from
166 to 200MHz.
