I today called an Apple dealer who told me the Apple part number for a
replacement internal Mac II floppy and an external SE floppy (The 'guts' of
the external, the drive itself) are identical!
 
Is there a wire to cut?  A jumper to change? Anything???
 
Why can't you take a MacSE external drive and rehouse it and use it in a
MacII.  It doesn't make sense.  They are the same part number...
 
Argggghhhhh!!!!
 
Any knowledge on this subject or if someone was successful doing this would
be appreciated.
