According to a local Apple tech support person, the portable has the
SE ROMs (no color quickdraw, etc.)  This makes some sense, because the
portable uses the 68000 processor.

The machine seems faster than as SE.  Also very good screen, with 640x480
display.  And the slots (it has 4) are acc3essible without tools or a lot
of idsassembly work.  Nice looking eachine.
