very likely, since i don't know if they came out of an se, an se/30, a IIci or a IIsi, since i've replaced drives in all of them. i never noticed the difference. does the plus support an internal scsi drive, i don't remember? if so one could be from there as well. i've labeled my collection of floppies as to which machine they came from, other than those i got on ebay/swaplist as i know they are different in many cases, but i never worried about hard drive computability other than fitting it in the box. i've even got a IIsi that didn't have a drive sled, so i drilled holes in the bottom and used hex standoffs to support it over the speaker, 3 out of 4 holes lined up and i considered that good enough, it also allows a taller drive though it's not as trivial to swap as with the bracket. i had the standoffs collecting dust and saw no good reason to buy a sled. if it weren't for power supply limitations i might replace the floppy with another hard drive for that matter, i have one of the external 1.4k drives should i need one. similarly i used screws and washers and short standoffs to mount a hard drive in a 7100 that didn't have a drive sled (i used the standoffs just to allow airflow over the drives board, and a full ht. 3.5" drive fits very nicely that way. mac hardware can often be modified to allow larger drives, not use the brackets, and in some cases to add drives very reasonably. maybe next spring i'll figure out how to add a pds slot to an se/30 for a vid card, and modify the crt electronics for gray scale or a larger display (modifying the drive electronics for gray scale shouldn't be that hard at it's limited resolution and video frequencies). if so i'll definitely let the list and gamba know, gamba has a great site, and appears to show how to add a cache card to an se/30, if he got it working i'd definitely be interested.

My SE/30, which I purchased new, originally held one of these 40S ProDrives. -------- -- "Promise me, promise me this day, promise me now..." he asked.
