The FDHD and SE/30 both should have a 1.44Mb drive, but if it's a
basic SE it would have an 800Mb drive. Deb, you might check as to
which model it is, whether an SE, SE FDHD or SE/30. It should say
either on the back, or the front. The SE has no internal HD, and is a
68020, whereas the FDHD has a hard drive, but is still a 68020, and
the SE/30 has a 68030.
