Try renaming one of Macworks files to profile.image.

It seems that you have the square-pixel "3A" rom, which cannot properly display the Selector screen (and LOS), so you are limited to running MacWorks XL and perhaps some unix-es.

The Selector eventually will work. We've been waiting for @stepleton to find some free time to "lick that cookie": https://lisalist2.com/index.php?topic=886.msg6973#msg6973

Or you can procure and install "H" ROMs and its corresponding video ROM.

Hi,

I got my ESProfile from Juicy Crumb and put the following files on an SD Card called

/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugin_FFFEFC_selector_rescue.py
/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugin_FFFEFD_system_info.py
/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugin_FFFEFE_filesystem_ops.py
/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugin_FFFEFF_key_value_store.py
/Users/berskyboy/Downloads/cameo-master/aphid/profile_plugins.py
/Users/berskyboy/Documents/Vintage Folder/Apple Lisa/Lisa Pi3 Folder/selector.image

and it boots up and recognizes the parallel port but gives a garbled screen when I boot from parallel port

I'm wondering if I've setup the SD Card improperly?, the Lisa is looking for the modded MacWorks XL? Or maybe another issue?

I also tried this in the Manual from
https://github.com/stepleton/cameo/blob/master/aphid/selector/MANUAL.md

Type in the following two lines to enter a short program into the Lisa's memory:

2900 223C 00FF FEFC 227C 00FE 0090 50C2 50C3↵
2910 50C4 4ED1↵
where ↵ means to press the Return or ↵ key. You must include all of the spaces shown. Note that the 2 at the start of each line will not appear on the screen: it selects the "SET MEMORY" function from the "SERVICE MODE" menu.

It's a minor nit, but I don't think Apple would have used the system font for in-application display like this: they seem to limit it to menus, title bars, and dialogs. The times when you see it in an application window are (unless I'm forgetting) a few header items in some apps, as well as when you restart the Lisa and you see a "click to load this window" placeholder from a previously-open document.

The font is also pretty large --- maybe a smaller one would allow more information or a smaller window?

I did not know that.

The reason i picked it is because when i was making the terminal software i needed something that had consistent letter sizes.

Considerable progress as usual.

FujiNet tools for the Lisa: FujiNet's speed is now set and followed from the Lisa, and the Graphical HTTPS browser has small thumbnails to make viewing web page images faster and better.

New builds of all five Lisa Office System FujiNet tools are out, tested on my Lisa 2/10:

  LisaFuji 1.2 beta          Speed menu sets the FujiNet's own speed; finds the adapter's speed by itself at launch
  LisaTwinClock 1.2          Network menu sets the speed; follows it
  LisaCheckers 1.1          Network menu sets the speed; follows it
  LisaSalvo 1.1              Speed menu sets the speed; follows it; the end of a game is never missed
  LisaFuji Browser 1.1 beta  picture icons toggle with a check mark; Speed menu sets the speed; follows it

How it works:

The RS-232 FujiNet has no speed command; its baud rate lives in fnconfig.ini on its SD card.

So "Use 19200 baud" posts the new speed to the adapter's own web page through the FujiNet's network device, restarts it, and reopens the port at the new speed, about twenty seconds.

At launch each tool tries the speed it last used, then the other, and keeps whichever answers, so once one tool changes the adapter the others follow.

No more editing the SD card. At 19200 a text page arrives in about half a second.

Also new: PCFuji, the stand-in FujiNet that lets you try LisaFuji with just a PC and a serial cable, now runs on macOS as well as Windows (tested on the 2/10 from a 2018 Mac mini, 25 Oct). Linux should work but is untested.

Floppy images, READMEs and Pascal sources:

Apple-LisaCheckers, Apple-LisaSalvo, Apple-LisaFujiBrowser), and on

The Lisa is now an official FujiNet platform, and Michael Wottle has LisaFuji running on an ESP32 plugged into the
LisaFPGA's GPIO header -- a third way to connect, next to the RS-232 adapter and PCFuji.

Ok so I did some reading, and I was able to process the test program over to LOS. Of course it was hanked since i indicated that documentation would be produced (which it doesn't) and succeeded in locking up my emulator.

TBH, the whole concept of a tool number seems to be completely wackadoo in todays world, but it was how Apple built it.

The ultimate goal is to create/translate some entertainment options for the Lisa. In this regard, I would need to figure out how to make a program executable so it could be run in the LOS environment.

Alex has some wonderful guidence in his github for his minesweeper app.

Woohoo! Another one saved.

Thank you Patrick.

Replacement capacitor for C8 arrived today and was installed.
The machine booted right up.  Problem solved.
