Does anyone know if I can retrofit one of the FDHD drives to my older SE?
More and more, I'm finding that I need to read and write 1.44 mb floppy
disks.

Rather that cut through the doublespeak offered by the dealers, I thought
I'd ask the people who know the answers.  I'm comfortable working on my
Mac myself, so changing a drive is not a big deal for me, if that's all
one has to do to upgrade.

Can one purchase these drives from a supplier, or is a Mac dealer my
only source?  Does this upgrade require any changes to the logic board
on my SE, or is it a straight bolt-in?

Thanks for your thoughts on the subject.
