Finally buttoned up the SE. It will boot from a floor tools disk of 6.0.8 that came with it just fine. So at least I have that to verify it's working.
I added the MacPack from archive.org to the SD card as well as the Legacy Recovery CD, couldn't remember if an SE can even boot from a CD (?), and fired it up but it just gives me the floppy disk with flashing "?" mark.
I tried the SD card from my LCIII which I figure won't work anyway since it has 7.6.1 installed and I get a sad Mac with the 0000000f 00000002 displayed and distorted speaker sound instead of the sad chime sound.
Any ideas? The boot floppy doesn't see any of the drive images of I boot off it with the SD card I made for the Mac SE installed. Finder shows 2,560k of total memory. Does that sound right? Could I have bad memory or something causing issues? I don't know how much memory should be showing but all four slots are full and I do not know the history of the machine. I just acquired it, did a recap, and replaced the CRT.
Also, I seem to recall the jumper for the RAM in the logic board was set to be covering ONLY pin 1. What should it be set to since I can't seem to identify just by looking at the RAM how much is installed and there isn't much in the way of identifying the sticks.
