As far as I know the 800k Apple drive you have described can only be used
on a Mac Plus or better. Or a modified 512k. I really doubt that it will
work with a //c. I could be wrong...

Not much other than case color... Of course there are small differences in
the SE's, such as floppy drive size(anyone know where to get the ROMs and
SWIM to upgrade an SE with a SuperDrive?) or which logic board you
have(only difference I know of is one needs a resistor cut to add RAM, the
other has a jumper). You might want to jump over to the Classic Macs email
list and ask these questions of the real pros in old Macs... I don't
remember subscribe info or anything, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.
