BLU has code that checks the integrity of .dc42 files that you upload to it, so you could always find out whether you have a good .dc42 file by letting BLU be the judge. It will tell you right after the upload completes.

If your images are something else... googling "lisa office system disk images" turns up a bunch of files on archive.org, also without file extensions. I downloaded one of them and looked at it in a hex dump---it seemed very much like a .dc42 file to me.

Now, where did *you* get your replacement CRT?

Finally, not everyone on this mailing list is in "gentlemen". Consider one of our resident disk image experts...
