I had the same problem with the disks from VintageMicros. A good image of the MacWorks Plus 1.0.18 boot disk can be found at:

>To answer your questions:

bought a set from VintageMicro, but the boot disk failed to work, so he's sending a replacement set.
>2) The only times it has shut itself off was while sending data to the
printer, correct. Prior to the last occurrence, I had the Lisa running for well over an hour without doing any printing, and it printed fine for at least a half-hour before shutting itself off.
>3) That is a good idea. I will connect my ImageWriter II to Serial I and try
printing said document a few times, to see what happens.
