Hi,
I recently obtained a Macintosh SE for 10 dollars, and i am getting a
vertical stripe effect on the monitor. I do not know if this is a hard
drive failure, but I assume that is the problem.
I wanted to know, if I could find what system software my Macintosh SE
Model 5011.
Thanks!

Probably not a hard drive issue. That’s more akin to a memory issue. Try
opening it up and reseating the RAM SIMMs before anything else.
It’s very likely an analog board issue, rather than an issue of software or the
hard disk.
What exactly does the vertical stripe effect look like?

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 lo
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.

I agre with superstar64. System 6.0.7 (or 6.0.8) would be a sweet spot for
a Mac SE. Pretty stable and nice snappy performance. System 7.0.1 would
work well, but is a bit "laggy" on the SE.

Yes: I've run 7.0.1 on my Mac Portable (68000, but Mac SE clock speed x 2)
for over 25 years. For the M
I'm not sure if I'M reading this wrong, but I don't think everyone's
getting what I said. Early System 7 is basically anything before System
7.1, which came on later 68040 machines or so. I think System 6 is the
sweet spot for the SE and some other late 68000 machines.
