Re: Definitive guide for writing Lisa disk images to floppies

Peter,

Where are you? I have many older Macs and would be more than happy to give you one. (Or two.)

I'm in Seattle.

HI everyone,

It is frustrating trying to find a definitive guide to writing Lisa disk images to floppies so they can then be read by my Lisa so I can install software.

I know I need to get an old Mac with an 400/800k drive or a superdrive.

I know I need to use Diskcopy 4.2 to write the images.

I've seen some posts saying use system 7.5.5 or earlier and some say you can use newer.

Can anyone point me to a definitive step-by-step guide that says how to do this ... what are the
best old macs to use (with ethernet ports ...) what system version to install, where to get diskcopy
4.2, what browser to use, etc.? I'll pretty much be using the mac I get ONLY for this purpose.

And yes, I've perused this group and search Google ad nauseum and haven't found such a guide.

Thanks,

Peter
