Any suggestions?
and BTW, since no-one suggested it yet, you can ALSO just use 1.4MB floppies, but you have to tape over one of the little holes so it "looks" like an 800K floppy to the floppy drive in your SE. I used to do this all the time, works fine if you use two layers of tape as the probe looking for the hole can sometimes pierce a single layer of tape. Once it's taped over, then format it as an 800K on the SE. m -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
