Hi, I'm new here. I recently contacted Ray Arachelian about running Lisaem on a Raspberry Pi, and he suggested I join the list so I can share what I'm doing with it. (I also have terrible follow-through when it comes to things like this, so I want to make sure that if I never quite finish it, someone else interested can.)

The project is to create an approximate replica of a Lisa 2, and the project is called ALyX (Approximately Lisa on *niX - yes, a Half-Life 2 reference, thus the superfluous y.) It's meant to include a few Unix utilities, including an environment manager called hvac to manage startup and hardware power button issues, a menu-driven, Lisa Workshop-like shell called lash, and a script implementing a simple form of stationery pad called stata. (So far only lash has been started. It's my first time coding in Pascal. I am not proud, but parts of it work.) There's also templates for parts of the outer shell of the case, although the exact plans are still in flux and I may not bother with a back panel, since I'll be using a USB hub as a backplane and they come in way too many shapes.

You can find it at

https://github.com/csyde/alyxproject
https://github.com/csyde/alyxproject/releases

(The templates are only downloadable from the release page.)

So... let me know what you think, and I'd really appreciate code contributions, although I'm still trying to figure out github so I'll probably have to do any commits myself for the time being.

Brian Connors
