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. -dave
