If the machines still run, you could add a USB card like this.

Don't think that'll work in a 7300.
I have an old portable external CD burner which came with a SCSI to FireWire adapter. It worked fine with that. If the machines won't boot that's your best bet. Check with OWC about the right connector. Wouldn't you also need a SCSI case?
FireWire would be a lot faster than ethernet too.
The other option would be to find an old Mac like a beige G3 which has both SCSI and ATA/IDE. Even without an upgrade card for FireWire or USB you could transfer the files onto an internal ATA drive (now called PATA), then put the drive in USB case.
Good luck.
