It occurs to me that Toshiba may use the same drive controller circuitry
in all three T1000xx machines to control productions costs.  Are there
any adventureous individuals out there who have tried adding a hard
drive to an SE, or a floppy to an XE?

(This is just a theoretical question: I *know* I can't add a hard drive
to my T1000 -- not the ways I've tried so far.)
