Overview

Macintosh SE

The Macintosh

SE personal

computer combines the com-

pact design of the Macintosh

Plus with added power, faster

file access, and greater flex-

ibility.

It includes an internal

expansion slot that allows you

to customize the system to

meet your needs, and it offers a

choice of three storage con-

figurations.

The Macintosh SE uses the

Apple

FDHD

™

Internal Drive, a

high-capacity 3.5-inch floppy

disk drive capable of reading

400K, 800K, and 1.4-megabyte

Macintosh disks. In addition,

the FDHD drive lets you read

from and write to MS-DOS,

OS/2, and ProDOS formatted

disks. This combination of

capabilities makes the Macin-

tosh SE an excellent choice for

use in multivendor environ-

ments.

Adding to the power and

versatility of the Macintosh SE

is Apple’s multitasking operat-

ing system, MultiFinder

MultiFinder allows you to open

multiple applications concur-

rently and perform background

tasks—such as printing docu-

ments on laser printers—while

you continue to work in an

application.

In addition to the system

software, the Macintosh SE is

packaged with Apple’s Hyper-

Card

software. HyperCard lets

you organize information on

your computer the way you

organize it in your mind—by

association and with unlimited

cross-references.

The Macintosh SE contin-

ues to offer the benefits that

characterize all Macintosh

computers: a consistent user

interface and intuitive design

that make the Macintosh easy

to learn and use.

The Macintosh SE is com-

patible with existing Macintosh

hardware and software, and

lets you share files with other

members of the Macintosh

family of computers.
