I have some questions about the AT&T PC 7300 and its peripherals:

  1.  Does the DOS-73 coprocessor board use the floppy disk any
      faster than a PC-compatible would ?  Can the board use the
      floppy directly ?  Are interrupts ala *BM supported fully ?
      can things like VDISK or RAMDISK be used with it ?
      Can it use the parallel printer port directly ?

  2.  Does anyone know about a SCSI interface for the PC 7300 ?
      I have an ANSI tape drive with a SCSI interface card which
      would be faster and more reliable than floppies for backing up
      the 7300.

  3.  What are your experiences with installing 30-50 Meg half height
      hard drives inside the 7300 ?  What would you do differently, or
      what would you recommend (procedure and hardware).

Thanks for relating your experiences.  Please e-mail me directly.
