	1.  No, it won't run on the Mac SE.  You must have an accelerator card
		and at least 2 megs of  memory.  It is slow with the 2 meg
		version, and about XT speed with the 4 meg version.
	2.  See one.
	3.  Mac II is about the same as a good accelerator in the SE.
	4.  $500 mail order?
	5.  I don't know of any.
	6.  Don't know.
	Hope that helps.  A good friend of mine has it and uses it a lot.  He
	has a 68030 @ 20MHz with 5 meg of memory.  You NEED a hard disk.
