Anyone know anything about the SE series ?

Motorola 68000, 8MHz, expandable to 4MB, came with either two floppy drives or one floppy and one internal hard disk (80MB I think), and at some point there was an FDHD (Floppy Drive High Density) upgrade available -- SE's that have had the upgrade and new front case will say "Superdrive" on the front. Upgraded power supply -- not the same as the analog board in the similarly-shaped Mac 128/512/Plus. One expansion slot (I don't know what kind, but it allowed for a video card so you could drive a second display, and a commonly-found configuration is an SE driving a giant grayscale two-page display). Introduced in March 1987 and discontinued in October 1990.

The SE/30, the only other one in the SE series, had a 68030 running at 16MHz, was expandable to 128MB of RAM, had a math coprocessor, and faster bus speeds.
