Ah, I missed that bit.
Any reason why a boot CD can't be used with a PowerPC or very late '040 machine? The 580 and most PowerPCs that are from 1994 and newer have CD-ROM drives. Plus, I know a lot of us have one or two externals and the necessary cables + termination equipment to hook said external to any given machine we're using.
At 1440k for a floppy, it's not like you're going to be doing too terribly much with the remaining space once you get 7.5.3 and any necessary network access stuff on there. (Presumably you'd want localtalk and ethertalk, and if I were making a wish-list, it would have an AppleShare over IP client as well, so I could access shares on a netatalk, Mac OS X, or Windows NT/2000/2003 server without worrying about the complete network infrastructure.
