I have to admit, I didn't take a look, what's exactly the disks content.
I only know, that the disk 2/2 is available on a Mac 68k Desktop and the Finder on it is about 80kB, dto. System and the total is roundabout 300 kB. The disk 1/2 isn't readable (it's only readable on Lisa 2 and Mac XL) and I didn't made efforts to put it into a swindler-computer ergh windows-computer to check what type of format it is and what's on it, because I don't own even one computer with Billy's OS, but I have over a 300 Macs...

... and unfortunately less time

Hi!

you wrote: "...any old MacXL lisa2 systems you know of let me know!"

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

There are a few retromac collectors in .au.  Checkout

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,
