Yes ! Nice one ! That would be it ! It is the female port 24 pin centronics.
"Used for HPIB/GPIB applications: connecting computer and instrument, IEEE-488 standard. The Centronics 24 connector has 24-pins arranged in two rows one on top of the other. The top row has 24 pins and the lower row has 24 pins."
One of the chips mentions GPIB I think, I wonder what was connected to it ?
"A bus system for Test and Measurement applications
GPIB, for General Purpose Interface Bus. The standard's number is IEEE488.1 .
I have never heard of that kind of connector before, pity the hard drive in this SE appears to be dead, that may have given some clues as to it's original use.
You might check at National Instruments web site to see if they have any documents for legacy devices. National Instruments is one of the biggest makers of instrument interfaces to PCs and they were (are?) heavily into Mac support at one time. They might have made a card for the SE. They're at <http://www.ni.com>
