I'm trying to decide whether to buy an 030 or plain SE, and managed to
find an SE030 to play with.  In order to try out all the software I'd
like to use, I put it all on an old (non-scsi) HD-20.  Lo and behold,
the 030 would not mount the drive at all.  I tried all kinds of
variations (including going back to an older system/finder), but
nothing worked.  Does the 030 have a problem supporting external
floppy drives?  The system I used was an 030 with 40M internal and 1Mb
memory.  This was the sort of things I was afraid of when I think of
buying new technology.
