Yep, that's a slot for Level 2 Cache-on-a-stick. If you find a 256k 
stick for a few dollars, it'll make the 7300 a good sight (ten or 
twenty per cent) faster. Bigger sticks are rarer and cost more money 
and are less "worth it". Leave this bugger empty if you plan to put a 
G3 board in 'er.

>2.  To the right of memory slot B4 there's another slot labled 'Rom Simm'.
>What's it for?

A ROM SIMM, of course. Basically, it's there to confuse newcomers. 
Apple stuck this socket on the motherboard to allow themselves the 
possibility of a user-installable ROM upgrade for god knows what 
purpose, but they never used it. the rule is:

THOU SHALT NOT FROB THY ROM SIMM SLOT. IF THOU HAVEST A ROM SIMM, SO 
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND EVER WILL BE. SHOULD THOU HAVEST NOT, SUCH IS 
THE WILL OF HEAVEN, AND IS NOT TO BE QUESTIONED.
