Posted by: henryacev on 2024-02-16 15:51:18 This is my first post 😃 I would like to know how can I copy the LOS Lisa office system 7/7 from the floppy emu images to a 400k floppy disk Please advice Thank you

Posted by: mg.man on 2024-02-17 01:48:58 Welcome to the community. This has been discussed recently: Making Disks for the Lisa 400K Drive What’s the best way to make Lisa disks? I had a hell of a time trying to make some working disks. I thought the Apple Legacy CD images would work but they didn’t (threw unformatted disk error on the Lisa), I tried images from online but StuffIt kept throwing an error when they were unpacked... 68kmla.org ...and you might find this useful as well: How can I transfer programs to my Lisa with only a 400k disk drive?

Posted by: stepleton on 2024-02-17 08:38:59 If your SE/30 has a working floppy drive, I would get Disk Copy 4.2 installed onto it and then use that to burn Lisa Office System .dc42 disk images onto floppy disks. Do you have a convenient way to get disk images onto your SE/30?
Posted by: henryacev on 2024-02-17 10:16:05 My floppy drive works, but the only way to get disk images , I would guess is floppy emu Will that work ?
Posted by: henryacev on 2024-02-17 13:50:02 Got it working , I had to start with floppy emu set as Lisa emulation Then on the Mac se/30 use disk copy 4.2 Thank you
