Yes, but that's an SE not an SE/30.  The SE/30 is essentially a IIx in a
different package so it's limited to 2 drives.  The SE lets you have 3 drives
because there is an extra drive selection toggle that's used in conjunction
with the internal drive select to let you select one of 2 internal drives.
