Yes.  In fact, I took the top drive out of my SE and installed it
in my II.  No hu-hu.

>Is it the same as the standard drive for the Mac+?
I think so, and I think it's the same drive unit as in the 800K external.
I seem to remember hearing of someone ripping aprt an external and putting
the drive in their II, but I haven't done this.

>Are there any good third party drive....cheap?

I haven't heard of any...

My advice: find someone buying an SE who wants a faster or larger drive
than the Apple 20Mb Internal.  Get them to buy a CMS Pro-40/i (a great
drive, particularly if you can get it from CMS at developer price),
and buy their second internal floppy.
