- The only other "difference" is that the new 735 can be outfitted with a
- 525 Meg or 1 Gig internal disk. I believe that the 730s originaly only had
- the 420 Meg as an internal option, now you can order a 730 and swap the
- 420 for a 525 and add a 1 Gig, but you cannot get a 730 with 2-1 Gig
- drives internal (unless you toss out the 420/525).
