Re: Confused on next steps to get Lisa Apps running

I believe it created a file with ".image" at the end of them. I'm not sure what do with them.
How do I tell the format?

My fustration level is high enough that I am considering creating a FTP site to store ready-to-go disk images for LisaEmu for anyone to access. I do think Apple cares about 20 year old software for an obselete machine.
