			The '''Macintosh SE FDHD''' (FDHD = Floppy Disk High Density) is a compact Macintosh computer released on August 1, 1989.<ref>{{cite web \|url=https://everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_classic/specs/mac_se_fdhd.html \|title=Macintosh SE FDHD Specs \|publisher=EveryMac.com \|access-date=2026-02-10}}</ref> It was the first compact monochrome Macintosh to include a high-density 1.44 MB "SuperDrive" floppy disk drive, replacing the 800K drive found in the original [[Macintosh SE]].

			The SE FDHD shares the same chassis and overall design as the standard SE but incorporates the updated disk drive and ROM to support high-density floppy disks.

			== Hardware Overview ==

			=== Processor and Memory ===
			The SE FDHD uses a Motorola 68000 processor running at 8 MHz with a 16-bit data path. It ships with 1 MB of RAM and can be expanded to 4 MB using four 30-pin SIMM slots. RAM must be installed in matching pairs.

			=== Storage ===
			The system includes a 1.44 MB SuperDrive floppy disk drive that can read and write both 800K and 1.44 MB disks. Internal hard drive options include 20 MB or 40 MB SCSI drives.

			=== Display ===
			The built-in 9" monochrome CRT displays a resolution of 512×342 pixels.

			=== Expansion ===
			Like the standard SE, the FDHD features an SE PDS (Processor Direct Slot) for expansion cards such as accelerators or Ethernet adapters.

			== General Maintenance ==
			For detailed maintenance practices including cleaning, PRAM battery management, connector corrosion prevention, and voltage adjustments, refer to the dedicated [[Macintosh SE FDHD General Maintenance\|General Maintenance]] page.

			== Troubleshooting ==
			A comprehensive troubleshooting guide addressing no power, chime but no video, intermittent operation, Sad Mac errors, and floppy drive problems is available on the [[Macintosh SE FDHD Troubleshooting\|Troubleshooting]] page.

			== Capacitor Replacement Guide ==
			Detailed capacitor replacement guidelines can be found on the [[Macintosh SE FDHD Capacitor Replacement Guide\|Capacitor Replacement Guide]] page.
