Re: lisa emulator how to get bootrom ans os on osx?

You'll need to get your hands on a boot rom. Sorry, I can't legally tell you how to do that. You'll just have to search for one. Lisa OS floppy images have to be made with either DART or Disk Copy 4.2. The emulator can read those directly.

Unfortunately Lisa images can only be made from a classic Mac with a GCR capable floppy drive. Modern USB floppy drives will not work, but again, there are images for LOS out there on the internet. I'm not legally allowed to say where, and yes, I agree that this is a stupid rule, but perhaps others on this list will point them out. :-)

I'm building a tool to extract these from a real Lisa, should be available in about a month.
