Here's a disk image of Smalltalk-80 on Twiggy. This one's for stepleton 8)
Thanks! I'm afraid all I do these days is build up a backlog of interesting Twiggies to test. Cutting and mastering new Twiggies takes up so much time; as much as I love using the drives (where "love" means something like "spend my time grimacing nervously and hoping they don't break") I really wish we had an emulator a la Floppy Emu!

Few months ago I added support for Twiggy media in LisaEm. Here is the last relevant code change: https://github.com/arcanebyte/lisaem/pull/22
When you choose an I/O rom version "40" in Preferences, LisaEm turns into Lisa 1 mode and expects Twiggy floppy disk image files; it warns you if the floppy mage is not of a Twiggy disk.
The "Insert Diskette" menu item inserts into the upper Twiggy floppy drive. To insert into the lower drive, hold the "Shift" button while choosing the "Insert Diskette" menu item.
You no-longer need a real Lisa 1 to try the Twiggy disk images floating on the webs :)
This is a fantastic development and I appreciate it --- thanks for making it happen! I would still love a hardware emulator, but perhaps I should give this capability a try.
