What do you mean here?

The SE and the Classic (and the plus for that matter) should be virtually
identical with regards to system software support.  I am not aware of 
any hardware changes that were made that should increase the ability of
the classic to run future systems over the SE.  (unless you consider the
ability to control brightness from the control panel a vital system software
enhancement.
