Was there such a thing as an external 1.44 drive? If
there was
could my SE use it?
Yes, and maybe.
The ROMS in the SE dictate that it can't use more than an 800k drive. So
a standard external 1.4 drive will still only operate as an 800k drive in
an SE that doesn't have the newer FDHD roms (if it works at all).
However, I do believe there were drives that had special drivers that let
the SE use 1.4 disks. I'm just not sure of brands or availability.
