1. Actually, aside from the stylistic differences there are three significant differences in the chassis. The original SEs metal chassis is too low to accommodate the SE/30 board. There was a revision to that chassis at some point for the SE and a third revision to it for the SE/30 to accommodate the larger PDS cards.
2. Apple claims in their technical manuals that the SE FDHD motherboard was made with only one FDD connector like the SE/30, however I have never seen one of these. All of the SE FDHD boards I have seen have had two connectors. Most likely all of the SE logicboards will have the two FDD connectors and yes it should support 2 1.4MB FDDs. I am told they sold this as a standard entry-level configuration.
3. Yes but there are some issues, namely which chassis you are using.
I know this has been discussed numerous times on here, but I just tried to search for SE/30 in Compact Macs and it turned up no entries. THen I tried SE and again nothing. SE30 produced about 6. Does this seem odd to anybody else?
