I can't respond to question 1, or 3, but I'll take a shot to #2.  You
may be able to drop a larger disk into the 300 iff the system board is
an "AM 6" or later.  The "AM" number is indicated at the rear of the
system board near the console/contty connections.

The way I understand it, the system board controller on earlier
machines were not set up to handle the larger disks.

I hope this helps a bit.
