"Anyone ever try mounting two 3.5" hard drives and a 3.5 inch floppy inside the
"7300? (160 meg without and expansion box or the bump top!)

i'm working on it -- 2 st1100s (sideways) & a cms jumbo tape.
you have to mount the hds sideways (one behind the other, facing the
power supply), and you have to install a 3.5" floppy to give them
cable clearance.
i'm powering all this plus the original floppy in an external box from
a 3b1 power supply; the jumbo takes 10w, but the st1100s are only 9
each.
btw, i've plugged in an intel 82064 and *SO*FAR* it's working fine...
i *FINALLY* (thanks, jbm ;) got my hd2 and am about to embark on
installing it.
