The 700 and 720 are Microchannel machines. MCA is
really fast, and I like it, but upgrading can be a major hassle.
If my memory serves me correct, those machines use ESDI drives
which are NOT innerchangable with IDE or EIDE. You may want
to opt for an exernal SCSI drive if you need the extra space.
