Hi!

Well, I have a pair of disks, which I got from a guy in developper facility of a formerly huge tv-, radio- & computer-factory not far away from my hometown in the end of the 80ies. I don't know, but perhaps you have heard from Schneider Computers and Amstrad. They manufactured plenty of electronical devices and I think they had a joint-venture with Apple Computers, because they intended to develop a sound-card for the Lisa.
Unfortunately - but luckily for me - they shut the factory and the whole develop-facility wasn't longer needed. They sold everything on a saturday and I went there, just wanting to buy a desk, some chairs and such stuff. Well, finally I arrived at home with a fully loaded (slightly overloaded) VW-Bus, because you couldn't buy single items... you have to buy the complete interieur of rooms. So there was a huge plant (Ficus elastica) several Lisas, plenty of software, also a desk and 6 chairs and a board in "my" room.
When I tried to store all the stuff into my car, a guy watched me half an hour, finally came over to me and said with small tears in his eyes: "Son, you bought the place, where I worked! Perhaps you'll need that, too.", and gave me the box with that disks.
Month's later I fired up one of the Lisas and it booted with those two disks

A wave from me too (hi Ray!) in Tasmania.
My Lisa XL is still in pieces while I replace the keyboard foam...and
the hard drive is flakey.
BTW: If anyone comes across the BETA release of the Apple Lisa C
compiler please let us all know.
The beta release was significant since it still supported compiling
applications targeting the Lisa, unlike the final release which was a
cross-compiler targeting only the Macintosh.
cheers,
