What should do is buy the Macintosh SE with 2 floppies drive. Then, pick-up a third party hard disk from say CMS or Crate Technology ( that's an internal HD). These companies make rear-mount internal HD's which let you use two floppies. Yes, I know people say you don't need two floppies but it always nice to have around when say your hard drive flakes out. I bought an SE with an Apple 20SCSI internal and regreted it! Apple's 20mb internal (really a Miniscribe) was sluggish to say the least. I think they changed maker of HD's several times though. But, my advice is get a Mac SE with two floppies then pick-up a third party hard disk. It will cost the same as buying a Mac SE with Apple' 20MB installed.
