Hum,  That's funny it runs on all the SE's in my dept, as well as the II's
IIc's, IIx's & IIcx's that we own & are located in the public clusters.
Besides incompatability with SOME desk acc's & init's and the extended

keyboards for a computer because different software each requires a
different one.
