Thanks for the tips on hard drives in the SE, Mac128. I guess that it hadn't occurred to me that they were the first with internal hard drives. Makes sense that it probably requires an Apple drive or at least most likely to work that way.

Thanks also for your earlier comment re: using an external drive. I have considered that, but doing so would partly take away the "all-in-one," compact nature of the machine - one of its attractions to me...

But you did pique my curiosity - if you don't use/like HD's in Macs, how do you use your Mac? While I have been able to do some word processing (Word 4.x) and minor gaming (Euchre!) using a 1.4 floppies and Ramdisk, isn't it pretty limiting? (I don't think I've used floppies exclusively since the old PCJr, although I do appreciate the quiet of the ramdisk/floppy operation.)
