Yes, please do post the info here!  $350 INCLUDING floppy drive?  That's
a great deal, considering Apple-branded 800k disk drives retail for $250 or
so.  And it's pretty easy to get ahold of old motherboards these days. I
was thinking of building a Hackintosh to go along with my real SE, but
didn't feel like building harnesses and other stuff just so I could hook up
the motherboard to an IBM power supply.
