	Yes , it has the same cpu and runs the same software the
	main difference is that the 3b1 has more memory (usually 2m)
	and a larger disk drive.(usually 67m)

	yes.

	As far as some of your hardware questions go, I can't answer
	however the disk drive replacement question can be .

	There are several authorized drives for the 7300, one caution
	though is that the controller determines the density not the
	type of drive, on the 7300 this is located on the mother board
	I believe ? (not sure) my brother in KC has replaced his 20m
	with a 40 m.

	later....
