Hello! I've been posting a lot recently, lol.
Anyway:
My Macintosh SE has an 800K floppy drive, I want to replace it with a 1.4M drive.
According to This Page I need the following chips:
  • 342-0701
  • 342-0702
  • 344-0062-01
Where can I get these chips? (If I can at all :/ )

It's not too big of an issue to get the drive replaced, but it would be a convenience.
 
Unless you find a NOS floppy upgrade kit, what you need are the two ROM chips and the SWIM (Super Wozniak Integrated Machine) floppy controller chip, which would be pulls from an SE FDHD.

If you can find an SE FDHD motherboard, the chips will be on it already. Maybe someone has one that is damaged?

Ok, I'll look around. Hopefully I can find one ~$10
