Title: LOS 2.0 German (possibly)
Post by: rayarachelian on September 09, 2022, 11:56:52 AM
Was searching around my downloads and found this, not sure if this is the droid we're looking for. There's a bunch of stuff in 2-3 zip files, some may be duplicate, looks like there's some macworks as well.

Attached are the repaired disk images I used to install the German version of LisaOS 2.0 on my IDEfile drives.

Also attached is an image of the IDEfile volume. This is a direct copy without interleaving or swapping tags and data. Lisa's LBA 0 is in the first 1024 kB, LBA 1 in the second, and so on. And the bytes in each block are exactly in the order in which they are sent by the Lisa.

Thank you for posting these!

I was able to install LOS 2.0/D and the six applications on a ProFile image that can be mounted with LisaEm (attached). All applications should be deserialized.

Hi,

thanks for posting these! I noticed that the "repaired" archive above is missing the MacWrite installation disk contained in the original upload. That one was serialized though, so I deserialized it using Fedit on a Mac and verified that the installation now worked on a Lisa 2/10 running the LOS 2.0d from the repaired archive.

I wasn't sure what'd be the best way to add the new image file to the archive in the previous post, so I hope uploading the single disk image in various formats will be helpful to someone in the future. :)

Cheers

Thank you for that contribution!

For future uploads, multiple formats are not necessary; one that is commonly used is sufficient (and saves server space). Compression and some error checking (such as a zip file) is preferred. For floppy disks, a zipped Disk Copy 4.2 image can be a good choice.

Thanks for the feedback! I wasn't sure how to create a ZIP file without losing the resource fork, though I realize now that dc42 images will work without it as well. Good thing these files are tiny, so I hope it's not an issue. :)
