What should do is buy the Macintosh SE with 2 floppies
drive.  Then, pick-up a third party hard disk from say
CMS or Crate Technology ( that's an internal HD). These
companies make rear-mount internal HD's which let
you use two floppies. Yes, I know people say you don't
need two floppies but it always nice to have around when
say your hard drive flakes out.  I bought an SE with an
Apple 20SCSI internal and regreted it! Apple's 20mb
internal (really a Miniscribe) was sluggish to say the
least. I think they changed maker of HD's several times
though.  But, my advice is get a Mac SE with two floppies
then pick-up a third party hard disk.  It will cost the
same as buying a Mac SE with Apple' 20MB installed.
