The SE ROM is a superset of the Plus ROM - about 160-170K used of a 256K ROM chip. In principle, you shouldn't be able to use Systems below 3.0 on a Plus, because the Plus ROM assumes HFS. However, older Systems run nicely on that machine. I very much hope the same applies to the SE - back then, before the explosion of different types of Mac that appeared in 1989, ROMs didn't check System numbers for compatibility at startup (or is it the other way round?) -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
