The Macintosh SE will rear up and expose its extra floppy drives if it feels threatened.

A photo of a very tall Macintosh SE, with five floppy drives. It looks a bit surprised.

@NanoRaptor imagine the whirrrr & clicking sounds. ☺️ How many disks does an OS install?

@foone I am giggling so much right now - but also nobody else could make such a fearsome display as you.

@NanoRaptor Oh man, it would’ve been absolutely perfect if the happy Mac icon was holding the same pose.

@NanoRaptor that’s proof that the SE/75 existed! It was just waiting for Motorola to create the 68075, which they never did…

The 68060-based SE/60, or SE/30 Quadrophenia, had just 4 floppies, but it was screaming fast, and could generate quadraphonic music by stepping the floppy motors just right.

Of course it was just a futureretrocomputing gig that was thrown out of Apple when Steve Jobs returned.

@NanoRaptor Users traded tips on safely accessing the extra drives, since too much threatening could cause the Mac to eject the disks at high speed in self defense.

@NanoRaptor people laughing at this have never been hit by a 3.1/4 inch disk traveling at near supersonic speeds.

@NanoRaptor that looks like it has a lot of space for drives inside. I wonder if you will run out of room, SCSI IDs or power first 😂
