What I'm wondering, after seeing no easy way to add another internal hard
drive (and since these are surplus-ready machines, I don't see myself asking
work to spring for external scsi drives), would I be better off going for
the 266 mini-tower model which presumably has more internal expansion room?
Would I be giving up too much speed-wise to go with the 266 instead of the 300?

the SCSI ones are in the upper left bay above the zip drive. you ought to be
able to snag a drive from one of the other Macs and add it in either place.
Let me know if ya need some help : )

Well, we're surplussing a bunch of older G3's (266 AV-capable towers and 300 desktop models) and I'm bringing one home to fiddle with. I figured the 300 would be better to mess with, although I'm not so sure after seeing how little internal (...) (24 years ago, 1-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
