I know we have been through this many times before but as far as transferring files from PC to MAC we could use terminal software. e.g. Hyperterminal on the PC and some other terminal emulation software on the MAC. My Classic luckily had a copy of MSWorks on it so in theory it could be done?

Perhaps some friend of you that has a newer Macintosh can transfer some files from a 1.44 Mb diskette to a 800 Kb one. If this is not possible, I would try to get a SCSI controller for the PC and use it to plug the SE's hard drive.That way, you can use TransMac to copy any file from the PC into it. IF you already own a Zip, perhaps you already have a SCSI controller on your PC. Once you have the Zip working on the Mac, it will be the easiest way to copy data to and from the PC.
