System 6.0.8 runs just dandy. System 7.0.1 can also be okay, but takes a performance hit. You should have it in case you need to run any System 7 applications.

Power it up here.

I don't currently have a way to create floppies from an image file.
Download CompactPro. Split into segments if required. Then copy to the SE and rejoin. Use Disk Copy 6.3.3 if you have access to a machine 7.0.1 equipped or later. If not, use Disk Copy 4.2.

If I was near my Mac collection, all you'd have to do is shout and I'd have a pair of floppies in the mail your way, but I can't.

If you are stuck with 800KB floppies, then I'd pick up an SE/30 or maybe something like a IIcx that can handle both 800KB disks and 1.44MB floppies. A IIfx would be the hot pickles, since it has dual floppy drives. (40MHz doesn't hurt either.) As your model appears to be a FDHD, you should be fine though.
