Yes it is possible to put an HD in an SE.  There are both connectors for
the SCSI and power connections built in.  The Power connection is on the
analog board (upright board) behind (or in front of, depending on which
way you are looking) the fan.  SCSI connector is on the motherboard near
the back SCSI connector.  The only things that you will need with your HD
is a SCSI cable (50 pin ribbon), standard power cable and a mounting
bracket that is designed for the Macs.  The only question that I would have
is: Is your 40mb a 5.25 or 3.5 - Most big macs come with 5.25, which
for size reasons obviously won't work.

Happy Computing
