No, I think Clark is right. The 7200, 7500 and 8500 were all introduced at the same time (8/95). The 7600 was introduced in 1996 while both the 7300 and 8600 were introduced in 1997. In fact, the 7300 uses the 8600-style power connector to the logic board whereas the rest of the 7xxx series doesn't. Logically, you can view the 7300 as a dumbed-down 8600, not a 7200 upgrade nor even a 7600 variant. >Kind of off-topic though...
