I too am interested in the external floppy issue, even if I have to buy
the current versions of the 800k external drive to do it.

It would in many ways be very nice to set up public SEs with three
floppies since it is hard to keep a hard disk on a heavily used public
machine in a good state.

Has anyone tried it with the newer exterenal drives?  Does anyone at
Apple know anything about it?  I suspect it depends on the external
disk drive having its own microprocessor in a fashion similar to the
HD-20 (which you can daisy-chain).
