Hi everyone,
I was recently granted access to a German Lisa 1 collection, and graciously allowed to archive the accompanying materials.
Attached are the first German Twiggy images to make their way online (to my knowledge). All disks are deserialized and de-bozoed using Ray's los-deserialize utility. As always, big thanks to Tim Colegrove at the Byte shop for his help and use of his Lisa.
- Lisa Office System (Buerosystem) 1.1D - I and II
- LisaCalc
- LisaDraw
- LisaList
- LisaProject
- LisaWrite
(the set also included LisaGraph and LisaGuide in German, but sadly, they were both degraded to the point of being unreadable)
In addition to these disk images, I also have scanned these accompanying manuals, as well as the disks themselves, their sleeves, and the disk box:
- Lisa Owner's Manual (Benutzer Handbuch)
- LisaCalc
- LisaGraph
- LisaList
- LisaWrite
- LisaTerminal
These scans will make their way to this post soon, once I work on cropping them a bit. I'll probably host them elsewhere and post a link, as to not overwhelm the forum's storage capacity.
It was through this project that I was able to patch my LOS 1.1B (British English) OS disks from my other post. Now that we have a backup of the German version of these images, they should in theory be able to help restore any other language version of LOS 1.1, including the French version that pops up from time to time in various states of degradation.
Enjoy! As with the British disks, if anyone's able to try these out and see if they install and work, I'd love to see some screenshots. Keep an eye out for updates here with more scans. :)
Update!
After a few more rounds of reading, we've been able to piece together relatively complete reads of LisaGraph 1.1D (27 bad sectors remain) and LisaGuide 1.1D (43 bad sectors remain).
I'll keep working to retrieve the rest while I still have access to these disks - but at the very least, we now have a partial read that may help to repair other disks, including LOS 1.1 variants from other languages.
