Amperfax will sell you a 2MB expansion board for around that price, they also
do other nice Unix PC upgrades.  Their address is:

		Amperfax Corp.
		1928 NE 154th Street
		North Miami Beach, Fl  33162
		(305) 944-1477

Other people including myself have done business with them and are very
satisfied; I would recommend calling them.  
 
As for disk drives (and Amperfax has a 40MB drive for the 7300, too), one
favorite is the 67 MB Micropolis 1325.  It has a 28msec average seek time
compared to ~65msec on the 20MB Miniscribe (which is very noisy too).
The Micropolis is full height, so it's usually placed outside the cabinet
and needs it's own power supply.
