You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue, if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing, too, Writing the code, Writing the code

You're welcome. I'm trying to put together the primary sources for the source code release
a few are difficult to find, like the Daniels IEEE article and the Dan Smith one

Writing the section describing the overview of the code is challenging since there never was
a single document that describes the system coherently. Bruce has never returned any emails
from me to talk about Lisa. He is supposed to be coming to the Lisa birthday event.

are pictures of the prototypes that CHM has, but everyone probably knows that.

There are brochures for it. It was a third-party storage product sold by Priam for PCs and Lisa
