To clarify, the floppy drive was able to eject disks until I cleaned and lubricated it which may mean I did something to cause that particular problem, but I cannot figure out what, since everything looks right and works properly if I manually work it.
At any rate, I finally had the time to sit down and give DragonKid's suggestion a try. First, I booted up the Mac Plus to make sure its floppy drive worked and, more importantly, to make sure the boot floppy worked. It did. So, I removed the floppy from the Mac Plus and put it in the Mac SE. With that floppy drive, the SE booted fine. And I confirmed it has 4 MB RAM so yay! for that.
Which means the SE's floppy drive is the problematic one. Are there any other things to try with it? I went through cleaning and lubrication process described in the wiki, so if that doesn't work, is it basically dead?
Or do I just need to track down a working (hopefully) 800k floppy drive on eBay? (I know a 1.44 MB floppy drive will work and I'll consider that as a last resort; I'd just prefer an actual 800k floppy drive to be more authentic.)
