I now have a semi-functional Macintosh SE.

Hard drive doesn't work.  I kind of expected that.

It won't boot from my System 6.0.8 floppy (800k disk).  I have been using that disk on several machines, so maybe it was damaged.  Booted up a Mac Plus that booted from the floppy the other day.  It started up but then said the Finder was corrupt.

So, I am now re-doing the floppy and will try again. . .

Okay, after somewhat of an ordeal getting a bootable 800k floppy again, the SE spits it out immediately.  The Mac Plus will boot from the disk, so I know the floppy is okay.  But the SE does not apparently like it at all.
