Looking for an X/ProFile (or two)

Some time and effort was spent maximizing the performance of the X/ProFile, I don't think a ProFile emulator could be made much faster than it is. Note that the media used can have a major effect on the speed; there are lots of speed grades of flash cards, and a well worn CF card may write more slowly than it was when new.
A benchmark of all the hard drives would be interesting and perhaps useful. Establishing some kind of test that could be done by anyone would be helpful so rare devices could be included.

During the IDEfile development I did some speed tests with different hard drives: http://john.ccac.rwth-aachen.de:8000/patrick/idefile.htm#benchmarks
Today, most people will probably use CF cards or disk-on-modules, which are much faster than hard drives. With these solid-state drives, the transfer time of the ProFile bus interface dominates, the access time of the drive is negligible.

Just saw that these are now back in stock at VintageMicros:

Here's a shot of my Lisa 2/5 booting Lisa Office System 1.0 from its X/ProFile, too 8)

Where can I find non-twiggy disk images of LOS 1.0? I want to install it on my 2/10.
