Weird Mac SE configuration?

[aquaseawing]

Hello long time lurker 1st time poster .I been long time wanting a 68k for a while and when this pop up on local Facebook for insane steal of $100 I could not say no.So I had picked up this as my 1st proper vintage Mac from 68k era.


moment I got it I checked serial number and it showed as a fdhd I was hyped hyped since I dint need social 800k floppies and could just make myself a install floppies.... F91557RM5011 showed as late 1989 Mac SE so I assumed it was a FDHD



But when I tore it down to clean had a no fdhd roms and 800k floppy disk drive ? The board part number was also in line with fdhd models so I am wondering if anyone else seen this late production of non fdhd Mac SEs? I guess I have get a BlueSCSI instead of being able to burn a 1.44mb MacOS 7 floppy.I guess have anyone else seen this late of production of no FDHD Mac se?

Well, to be honest, if you just look at the label and serial number, you should have a FDHD unit.

But the serial is just a sticker in the rear case, so, probably the rear bucket was swapped at some point.

All new models (M5011) were sold under the FDHD or Superdrive name, both having it clearly visible in the front.

As you floppy drive and logic board are the 800 k variant, and the front badge is not any of those two ones, most likely your SE is the more usual M5010 unit.
