SE + MPW?

So I got my working SE (THANKS!)  Whooo hoo.   I am loving it to pieces.  I want to get MPW going.  I want to stick with System 6.  Is there a version of MPW for 6 that would run on my SE?

 
Yes — I remember reading that for a short(?) period, MPW wouldn't run in System 7, but would develop System 7-compatible apps. I think you need a hard drive though.

(THINK C may also be an option — and it will run off 2 800k diskettes!)

 
I routinely use MPW version 3.2.3 under system 6.0.8 with no issues on a Mac Plus, a IIci and in Mini vMac.
I'm currently in contact with an author of a MPW compiler language who’s (with OS X stuff) still in business. I convinced him that’d be totally cool to have his compiler running withing MPW again.

So I stuffed together a Mini vMac machine, completely with OS and MPW 3.5. But … this MPW is too new. He needs a version that is "so old" that "Interfaces" and "Libraries" were two separate folders. 3.5 comes with a "Interfaces&Libraries" combined one.

Surprisingly I'm having a hard time finding old MPW version for download. Anyone has an idea which version fits the description above?
