Re: What OS Should my Macintosh SE run?
True. I'd try re soldering the fly-back transformer & power connectors. Might as well plan on a re-cap of the logic board as well.

Those suggestions are just shooting arrows in the dark. The flyback would not cause vertical lines. The logic board has axial caps and isn’t really prone to simasimac from bad caps. The power supply may be suspect. I’d reseat the RAM modules and check voltages (mostly the +5V). If you can’t adjust the +5V properly, look at recapping the power supply. - Dylan -- -- - You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.

Re: What OS Should my Macintosh SE run?
To answer your title question: you’d probably want to either run System 6.08, System 7.1, or System 7.55 — with increasing memory requirements. But as others point out: a vertical stripe is not a system issue, but hardware.

Icons hidden on Mac Classic?
I have a Mac Classic, that I have always had System 6.0.8 installed on, but unfortunately when I started it back up today after several months of not using it, all the icons and files and folders and everything are hidden, but trash and hard disk. Even the floppies that I put in, the icons are hidden. But, the weird part, I can search anything and it will come up and work as normal. When I restart the computer, all of the icons I dug up by searching them are all gone. Could you guys help me make sense of this? I have no clue where to start. I have searched everywhere. -- -- - You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
