	I'm damn sure the 7500 is SCSI, with 10 MB/s internal and external
SCSI busses... I have one, and it was damn expensive at the time (it 
also was Apple's first PCI mac)... :)  It also has video I/O, tho I don't
think I ever used it..

	The 7600 was a much later model (604-based) and possessed a
similar case, but it had a different motherboard...
