Lots of people have done that, and there were several third-party upgrades for it. The biggest problem with them was PSU loading issues. The SE's PSU is barely robust enough for a hard disk of that era and a single floppy. If you encounter an SE upgraded in such a manner, in the interest of preservation, see what you can do about finding a lower-power hard disk (newer, same RPM, and equivalent capacity usually means lower power). -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
