Nice work - iMacs of that vintage are really well built and surprisingly usable machines.
My wife used a 400MHz one for ages - the only reason she upgraded to an eMac was for the USB2.0 port for a her camera memory card reader.
(btw I am gregh from MacTalk...)
PowerBook 100s are very cool - I have about 4. Never found one with the 6MB RAM upgrade though (still looking - all mine have 2MB + 2MB).
They are very easy to work on - all Phillips head screws so you don't need any special tools.
I have no idea if the cardboard floppy came in the drive - I would have thought not as the cardboard could foul the mechanism too easily. I know the yellow plastic fake disk did - I think I have one in the shed...
I'd keep both but seeing you can't I would keep the 7300. What other Macs do you have? Can any of them use the scanner and laserwriter?
Edit: just saw your sig - the PowerBook Wallstreet should handle both the scanner and laserwriter?
They are the nice eMacs too - they have USB 2.0 (useful if you have an iPod or digital camera).
My wife has a 1.25 GHz eMac and uses it daily - she loves it!
Now that I have a house (and a 20' x 20' shed) I will start working on a RetroChallenge project as well. It's nice to have some space finally. Not sure what I will do - software is probably more my field.
A cache card is worth getting if you can find one. Shouldn't be too hard to find one - Apple were shipping the later IIcis with them pre-installed IIRC.
Nice score though - the IIci is my favourite machine.
The 520c has a AAUI plug at the back - for ethernet all you need is a dongle. Internal modems are available but probably fairly slow by modern standards (14.4 or something from memory).
Of course if you have the PCMCIA cage for the 520c you can use PCMCIA cards.
As for printing, the 520c only...
