Can anyone tell me what the hardware, interms of ROMs and interface, there is with the FDHD drives. I have looked at the rom versions of both the Mac SE and one with a FDHD drive and I think that they are the same version. -Rich

A local Apple dealer said they would upgrade my 2 drive SE to 1 FDHD and 1 800k drive for $310. They said it involved replacing 3 ROMS @ $70 a pop, and $100 + one of my old 800k drives for a FD HD. By what you said there, only ONE chip has to be changed???? Charles
