Could be - but when I looked at the data for the Mac SE FHHD (so called
because it had a 1.4MB SuperDrive rather than the original's 800K job),
Apple's data sheet said that it came with an 800K floppy disc drive.
I've also found Apple data that says that the 512Ke can't use anything
above about System 3.2; and a different Apple data sheet that says it
can use System 6.0.8.  Unreliable is the best way of describing Apple
data sheets; I find the best way of dealing with this is to get 2 or 3
different original sources of data and only believe them if they all
agree.

Could be...
