Hard drive options for a Mac SE

I have a Mac SE, bought new with the single floppy/20MB hard disk setup.  
Currently, I have a friend's Jasmine DD20 (external) attached to the SCSI port
for evaluation, since I need more space!  However, it seems like more of a pain
than it's worth to have multiple hard drives, and I think I'd prefer to have 
one, larger drive.  I'm wondering, then, what options I would have in terms
of internal/external devices.  This is what I'm considering:

	1.  Remove internal hard drive, and replace with a larger capacity
unit.  How difficult is this?

	2.  Remove internal hard drive, replace with second floppy, and 
purchase larger external hard drive.  Another option here is not to replace
the hard drive at all, but then I'm back at square one!  I have an external
floppy hooked up (a Cutting Edge); is it possible to gut it, and plop the
innards into the SE as a second floppy, after the hard drive has been removed?

	3.  This one is probably impossible, but you never know...  Is there
software available that would bind the two hard drives I currently have into
a single volume as far as the OS is concerned?

Just random musings, any help appreciated.

Rich
