First question.  The SE uses 150 nanosecond 256K SIMMs.  (-15 on the chip).
120 nanosecond chips should be used on the Mac II.  (-12).  I have heard
of people who have put in 150's...I don't know what the effect is...probably
slower memory.  (Anyone from Apple care to clarify this?)

Second Question.  It should be reversable as long as you have the -12 1MB
SIMMs.  I believe that a resistor should have also been removed when the
2 1MB SIMMs were swapped for the 256K SIMMs, so that would also have to
be replaces.
