   You need to use Finder 4.1 and System 2.0 to create an 800k MFS disk.
I'm not sure you can even boot the SE with that system so you may be out
of luck with that but if you're using a Plus you're in luck.

   As I recall you need to hold down the option key when you name the disk
and hit OK in the initialization dialog. This certainly worked under earlier
system versions.

    CopyII Mac version 6.5 supports file recovery on HFS floppy disks by
using the tags. If you wish to UNDELETE a file, this works fine. If you
want to RECOVER damaged files, MacZap is the best tool I've seen so
far. In any case I think the only reason you want 800K MFS disks is if
you have a (old) copy of a program which is not HFS compatible and you
want the extra disk space.
