Though some of the units don't have an external SCSI connector, any unit 
that supports internal SCSI can technically support external SCSI. It 
would be a matter of getting yourself some 25-pin ribbon cable, some 
connectors and screws and making a hole in the back of the unit.

Of course, only attempt this if you have a fairly good understanding of 
working on electronic gear, though it is mostly a mechanical effort. In 
other words, mechanical activity has a tendency to leave things like 
metal shavings and such, and that would be bad to get into your 
electronics.

The software version is independent of the hardware version. Any machine 
can run the latest software.

The SE moniker is a software only feature (i.e. it runs on any hardware) 
that means 'Synthesis Enhanced' and adds some some wacky ways to create 
new waveforms. Spectrum Interpolation is like an Additive Synthesis 
system combined with some time based parametric shaping control, and 
Transform Multiplication is a way to combine (convolve) two waveforms 
together to make a new sound. Kind of like a weird form of morphing two 
sounds.

I think there may be some other features, or at least bug fixes in 1.1, 
but I can't remember of the top of my head. It's probably better than 
1.0 ;-)
