even though they had rather limited HDD
 resources.  It would have worked better with two drives, methinks.  
 I know that some model of UNIX PC had room for a full-height MFM drive
 under a hump (most only had room for a half-height).  It was too little,
 too late, but you could drop a lot more than 40Mb inside - maybe 80Mb
 or more!  :-) 
  If memory serves, the one with the half-height bay was called the
7300, and the full-height version was the 3B1.  They were the same
otherwise; I swapped a few out from damaged machines many years ago.

  They sure were great machines.  I wouldn't mind having one for
posterity.
