The SE/30 looks very interesting.  I have two questions, and I hope
somebody from the net will be able to answer:

1.  Is the 40Mb hard disk one of the new Quantum (sub 20msec) drives or
    one of the older (sub 30msec) Quantum drives?  I know from other
    postings that Apple is using the new Quantum for the 3.5" 80Mb
    drive, but 80Mb is a little much for my needs.

2.  There is an article about the SE/30 in the most recent Byte
    (February, I guess).  It states that Apple is using a separate 64k
    memory subsystem for the screen buffer.  Is this true?  If it is,
    64k is at least twice as much as the internal monitor requires.
    Perhaps the SE/30 still supports some sort of alternate screen
    buffer?
