Re: Lisa 1 on Ebay

I bet you you have Lisa Xenix (a Unix clone). I've never seen a complete set of installation disks for it.
I'd love to run it on the emulator if anyone has a copy (or a copy of the Lisa development system).

Anybody have a spare Profile-to-Lisa cable? or tell me how to make one?
