![]() Atleast I found several like that when going through a dozen brokenmachines to scavenge the two HD floppy drives that my SE has in it. I think all SEs manufactured after 1988 included the 1988 motherboardand ROMS, including the ones that shipped with 800 kB floppy drives. The 1988 motherboards have it in a socket. The 1986 motherboards have the clock battery soldered to themotherboard. Without the ROMs, the SE would treat the HDdrives as 800 kB drives - it wouldn't generate any errors, it would justformat the HD media as 800 kB and use it as such. The drives work in my 1986 motherboard, but only after moving the ROMchips from the FDHD system. I also replaced the floppy drives with 1.44 MB drives (scavenged frombroken SE-FDHD units.) The FDHD systems had motherboards dated 1988. ![]() Since the new drive isa 1" tall drive, there is now a little more room between it and themonitor. (There was about 1/4" ofclearance between the drive and the picture tube!) When that hard drivefailed, I replaced the drive with a 200 MB drive. Whoever added the hard drive added a horizontal bracked above the upperfloppy drive, and mounted a 40 MB drive on it. Neither of the original two floppydrives were removed, however! When I bought it from its original owner, it was upgraded to have 4 MB ofRAM and an internal hard drive. It originally shipped with two 800 kB drives and 1 M of RAM. In August 1989, The SE was replaced by the SE FDHD. It sold for $2,898 for a dual floppy configuration. ![]() The Mac SE was also one of the first Macs to include an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB), which allowed for up to 16 input devices. It came in a new platinum case, had an expansion slot, and included a bay for either a second internal floppy drive, or an internal hard drive. Released at the same time as the Mac II, (March, 1987) the Mac SE further addressed the issue of expansion. Codename: Mac ±, PlusPlus, Aladdin, Freeport, Maui, Chablis
