Macintosh SE - how to get it working...

I found a very well-kept Macintosh SE on the sidewalk! (waiting for the trashman). It fires up and displays an icon of a floppy with a question mark in it. (I'm mostly a pc-er, but last year bought a Mini) Does anybody know and have whatever disc it's asking for?
Thanks

Some SE models did not have a Hard Drive, they booted with a system disc. Thats why the flashing ? If its got a Hard Drive theres no system on it. If you never messed with old Macs you may want to give to someone that collects them. The max system it will run is 7.7.5. The max memory is 4mb.

You should take down your email as thats how you get spam.
