@compu_85 - so the next thing you need to do is load up DONKEY.BAS and run that - if I recall (in)correctly, that's the last program billyg wrote himself.

Lisa2:
I saw this post yesterday.  Been-there, done-that a long time ago.  I personally have been using SoftPC on my Lisa's since 1994.   I even have had made lot of tweeks to make this work better. 

1. I use a version of SoftPC called "Entry Level SoftPC", this version is optimized for 68000 ( not 68020 +) based systems. 
2.  I made a special font called DOS13 that is a 13 point font to run full screen on a screen mod Lisa at full resolution.
3. I had James add a special option to the MacWorks+II Keypad control to add extra keys needed that the stock Lisa does not have.  This remaps the clear key on the num pad to be a needed key using SoftPC.
4.  Under MW+II with the 18Mhz XLerator this runs quite well, runs as fast as a real PC-AT if I remember correctly.

I can provide more info if folks are interested.

Running Donkey would be a nicely bad piece of software to run in SoftPC.

Rick, do you happen to remember what version of MW+II that was in? I've got 2.5.0 Pro.

I'll have to try Entry Level SoftPC and see if it runs any faster. SPC 3.0 is quite slow on my 16mhz "XL".

I promise, no permanent harm will come to the Lisa as part of this exercise!!
