Congrats on the success!

The problem you encountered is a mystery to me... I don't suppose it was as simple as a data transmission error when transferring BLU to the Lisa... presumably BLU's self check would have reported a problem in that case.

The .dc42 file you downloaded was almost certainly created using BLU's "Create BLU DC42 image to write to floppy" function.

It sounds like you used the correct procedure, so if you figure out what happened do let us know so we can clarify the instructions.

I'll try the using the Create image function again to see if I can reproduce the problem tonight.

And THANK YOU so much for creating BLU. What a fantastic too for the community!

paule:
I used the Create image function last night and successfully created another BLU boot disk. I don't know what happened the first day, but I'm going to chalk it up to user error as I was going through everything for the first time.

Super, thanks for going back to check!

And thanks also for your kind words.
