The SE and the II/IIx switch looks the same from the front (except that the
triangle is pointing the other way), but the little brackets and clips and
things that hold it into the grating on the computer are in a different
configuration, so a Mac SE switch won't fit into the case on a II.  I don't
know if it's the same the other way, but I wouldn't be particularly surprised.
I've got a line on another place that is willing to give me one free now, so
I'll see if they've got the right one.  (I ripped the switch off of my
personal IIx to see what it looks like, so I'll KNOW).
