ESProFile - A Powerful ProFile/Widget Emulator and Diagnostic Tool
stepleton:
There's a few things I would like. If I were retired and could buy a few extra years for my life, I'd like to make a powerpoint clone for the Office System: it's a part of the modern office suite that's missing on Lisa and it also tells you how much fun I am at parties.
Somehow about nine months ago this new piece of Lisa software went up on Github as a bit of a stopgap. And I did actually haul my Lisa 1 into work and give a slide show presentation with the thing --- it was a fun stunt.
Solitaire is a great idea and is probably more fun to program than presentation software. QuickPort (the limited but easier way to "port" Workshop apps to the Office System) would probably do the job here, although my recollection from LisaMandelbrot is that drawing bitmaps (like you'd probably have on the cards) is a bit awkward, hence warnings like these. It might be better to make the card designs with ordinary draw commands. This reminds me that I'd like to make a LisaMandelbrot from ToolKit someday.
To add to the media drivers idea: I'd love to see some kind of networked storage option, similar to FujiNet perhaps. Most? (all?) ESP32s have WiFi, and being able to exchange files over the network would be amazing. This Lisa Device Drivers Manual presumably provides the additional guidance one would want in order to write the drivers:
https://www.applefritter.com/content/lisa-device-drivers-manual
and now that we have the OS source code, we ought to be able to build the units (=libraries) that drivers need, which I don't think are included in the standard Workshop install. Just like so many other things, device drivers seem perhaps a bit overdesigned for the application and can be loaded or unloaded from the OS without rebooting. In fact, you can mark drivers so that they're dynamically loaded and installed only when you use a device that needs them! Another thing about Lisa that's technically and puzzlingly impressive.

Thanks for the Link!
I also hope to use the Lisa for presentations

Here is my 3d printed ESProfile holder (from the other thread).
I have a white one also but the orange caught my eye. I have an extra if anyone wants it!
I am powering the fan from the card also.

Nice!
In the latest design revision, I've added a fan header, so you can now plug the fan straight in instead of using clips if you have the latest board!

Sigh.

"The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023 contains undocumented commands that could be leveraged for attacks.
The undocumented commands allow spoofing of trusted devices, unauthorized data access, pivoting to other devices on the network, and potentially establishing long-term persistence..."
