Yes.

There were magneto-optical drives, expansion bay hard drives, power 
supplies, and zip drives.  There were probably other devices too, but 
I never bothered to learn more.  An MO drive would be pretty neat. 
I've only ever seen 1 on eBay and the seller wanted $150 for it!

The bay will take any 3.5"-type drive that will fit in the 3400 (by 
3.5" I mean only as wide as the floppy module, not as wide as the 
CD-ROM module!).  About the only substantial differences between the 
expansion bay in the 5300 and the 3400 is that the 5300 will only 
take devices of the smaller variety, and the 5300 does not support 
DMA (so accelerated hard drives from VST that use direct memory 
access in the 3400 will not use DMA in the 5300 - they will work the 
same otherwise).

Peace,
Drew
