Weeellll.....
I've got 10 SE's here under an outer bench I saved from an Elementary
School.
Each has a MiniScribe 20. All of the original 30 had a MiniScribe, and
after 13, 14 years of whurring along only 6 of the original 30 were dead.
I have better things to say about them than you.
More would have been salvaged, but some suffered from bad analog boards (5),
bad CRT's (3), bad floppy drives (8). In this instance, the hard drives had
a better lifespan ratio than the floppy drives.
