Comments
The Macintosh SE (System Expansion) was the first compact Mac to support an internal hard drive. It was also the first compact Mac to have an internal cooling fan. The SE even had one expansion slot. Unlike the earlier compacts, it used the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB), which supported up to 16 input peripherals.
