"Closely following will be CHM's public release of the source code for the Apple Lisa computer, a remarkably influential project by Apple that did so much to bring the graphical user interface and "What You See is What You Get" approaches into personal computing. It is still our primary way of interacting with digital technology forty years later."

Exciting stuff!

Fantastic news! Congrats Al and everyone at CHM + elsewhere who are making this happen.

Hope I live long enough to see it

Wow! This is really exciting!

I spent an hour today with CHM's video team shooting high res video of 7/7, workshop, and macworks
for the Art of Code Lisa events in January.

It's happening...

Also, has anyone tried the 800K LOS driver on the Garden? The contents of the zip file doesn't make any sense.

I now have two Lisa 2's running and wanted to play with an 800K drive in one of them.

I haven't tried the one on the Garden, but I've tested the one on Macintosh Repository and it works great!

Same - no problems with the 800k driver from the repository.

I put a copy of the disk image which I used here:  http://compu85.homeip.net/stuff/Lisa/Software/OfficeSystem/

Al,

Thank you very much for your unwavering efforts in this. I've always wanted to many things about the internals of LOS and you've made that a reality for many of us.

I think the source drop is scheduled for the 19th, which is the 40th anniversary of the annoucement

Complete with a cameo by Lisa Brennen-Jobs. 
Fantastic!

The event was exhausting. I got to catch up with a bunch of Apple friends I hadn't seen in decades.
Disappointed that they barely mentioned the source release at all. The mention that was made was
added at the last minute.

I'm guessing the Office System demo you gave was also greatly cut down.

Still, looks like your efforts paid off
