It’s great to hear you experts discussing what type of disk I should install, and esoteric (beyond me!) methods to prepare an Apple image to store on this disk, and many thanks for the suggestions ...
The reason for all this is to help sell / find a good home for my old friend - without too much expense!
I have scoured all major DIY stores within a 20km radius and not a single one sells Torx screwdrivers. I do have an appropriate torx bit (meant for for fitting into a power screwdriver), but all “extension” pieces I have found are too thick to fit into the MAC SE recess. It seems easy to find them in the US, but not in the UK ;(
There are another couple of options I will explore in the coming week, and if successful I will open her up and “try holding [the disk] in one hand and giving it a hefty smack on the top with the other” - but don’t know that I would be capable of changing a drive and formatting the new one.
Is there any market for the machine in its present condition?
