Thanks to all who replied, for your helpful advise. It seems that system 
6.0.8 is the best one to use, all things considered. I downloaded it 
from the link, and made 4 x 800k floppies in my G3, but the Mac would 
not boot from them, except the last one Utilities. It just spits the 
others out. But if I boot from 'Utilities' I can still load and read 
them. So I don't know what I have done wrong. The hard drive is in a box 
and connected to the SCSI port. The Mac used to boot from it, but just 
stopped for some reason. But sometimes I could get it to boot by 
switching it on and off a few times. I don't know what system was (still 
is) on it, but if I use a System 3.2 floppy disk, which is the only 
other one I have, the Mac will boot happily, and the hard disk icon 
comes onto the desktop, and I can read all the files. I re-named the 
system folder on the hard drive, and then dragged the system folder off 
the 6.0.8 'Utilities' floppy onto the hard drive, but the Mac still wont 
boot from the hard drive, although I know this system is good since I 
can boot from the floppy. If I try to run progs from the hard drive, 
after booting with the Sys 3.2 floppy, the Mac crashes. I put the hard 
drive onto my G3 to check it, but Drive Setup says it's an unsupported 
disk, so I can't even mount it to check it with disk repair. So that's 
where it's at at present. :(

The hardware is:

MacPlus with 4mb (I think) RAM and internal 800k drive

SCSI hard drive connected to the SCSI port

external 800k drive
