One of the upgrade paths for the 7200 was that it was possible to swap 
in a 7500 motherboard, which had s-video in as well as a CPU 
daughtercard that made CPU upgrades easier.  In theory, if it *is* a 
7500 motherboard, it could be upgraded to a G3 or even a G4.  The nice 
thing about this particular upgrade path is that you can use a G3 that 
you've remove from, say, a newer G3 model that you've upgraded to a 
faster G3 or G4.  Check out the upgrade guides on www.lowendmac.com
