[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Upgrading SE FD to 1.44Mb

s57783@zeus.usq.EDU.AU (chapman alan) (05/09/91)

I have a FDHD and the upgrade kit for the Mac II.  What parts do I need to
upgrade my SE?  Can I make use of the parts I have?  If I do make the upgrade
will I be losing the 800K drives functionality (I have two)?

The parts I have are as follows:

1  FDHD drive mechanism
1  MFM-GCR Floppy Disk Controller  344S0062  (is this the SWIM chip?)
1  IC, ROM, 512K                   342-0639
1  IC, ROM, 512K                   342-0640
1  IC, ROM, 512K                   342-0641
1  IC, ROM, 512K                   342-0642

Anyone care to explain what these parts are?
