First, was I the only person who did not know that the floppy
in the 7300 is not PC-compatible.  I just thought I'd mention
this in case anyone else tries to replace a drive.  I recently
got a 7300 with a dead floppy and tried dropping a 360K PC drive 
in it.  It would go on and the LED would light appropriately, but
the machine did not recognize the floppy.  I tried changing a few
jumpers around on the floppy board, but no luck.

Second, the query.  Has anyone successfully upgraded their
motherboard memory on the 7300?  I've got to find a reasonable
way to get my 512K on the new/old 7300 I just got upgraded.
So far, apparently there are no price reductions on the memory
or combo boards to coincide with the sell-out of the 7300 units.

And FINALLY, did anyone else hear that the reason the 7300 supply
has about dried up is that they were all bought up recently by a
European firm?  This was the story I got from a VAR recently.
It might have some significance on whether or not other parts
become available at reduced prices or perhaps get all bought up
and become unavailable at any price.
