Can you say MARKETING DECISION?  

1) The ROMS in the SE are not the same as those in the MAC II, and only the
   Mac II Roms support Color!

   So, my guess is that Apple wanted to force those who want color to spring for a Mac II or they were WAY OFF BASE about the number of people out there who ant <-WANT COLOR on their Mac be it a II or an SE.

   You may have noticed how they underestimated the demand for Color monitors for the mac II to the tune of about $38 million (according to some papers).

   My guess is that one might see a Color SE next year, maybe with a 68020.
   I would say 68030, but then I would assume that would dent the ol Mac II sales eh?

   Whatever, it should go nicely with the Color Laserwriter in 88.
