External SCSI Hard Drives for Mac SE
I'm wanting to expand the hard drive space for my Mac SE by adding an external scsi hard drive to it.
My clip art and hyper card collection is getting to be around 30 megs - don't want to max out the internal 40 meg hard drive.
"Back in the day" did they sell external hard drive enclosures for these where you added your own hard drives, or did people usually go with zip drives or other external removable media?
Is there any way to use a modern hard drive a mac se?

I don't recall enclosures available back in the days of the SE. Zip drives weren't even available back then -- they came later. There were tape drives and hard drives and that's about it. I think your best bet is to get a zip drive -- you can even boot from it. As for using a modern hard drive on an SE, I'm not aware of a way to do it. It would require a SCSI adapter to either IDE, USB, or Firewire. I know you can go from IDE to SCSI but not the other way AFAIK.

I use SyQuest 200 MB Cardridge Drive on my old Macs.
I had one for sell - its sold already but you get them at ebay for a few bugs.
