Yes, I'd like to see an external FDHD.  Especially since apple has
announced that SEs will now come with the drive and they're offering an
upgrade for older SEs to install an internal FDHD drive.  For me, buying
an external drive and plugging it in would be a lot simpler (and
cheaper?) than taking my SE in to the local dealer (who's mostly IBM
oriented :-< ) for an upgrade.

One question for those in the know:

Would an external FDHD drive be able to run on an SE or Plus?  I believe
that the internal upgrade includes changes to the motherboard to allow
the SE to use the FDHD.  Would such a change be necessary to use an
external FDHD as well?
