I don't know if it would work at all in your

have piles and piles of the Macintosh high density 'super drive' floppy

on wether your SE could be upgraded to use one just by swapping the
drive? If so, you can have one or several for the cost of postage.
AFAIK, to use a "super drive" in an SE, you need suitable ROMs as well
as a suitable drive. The case for such is marked "FDHD" (fud-hud), for
"Floppy Drive, High Density". I have one in Ohio.
