When it's booted, you can insert more diskettes to load more software such as LisaWrite. Whenever it asks for another floppy, repeat the "insert floppy" process from LisaEm's File menu.Īfter this, the emulated Lisa will be able to boot from the ProFile hard disk.
#MAC LISA EMULATOR INSTALL#
From there, follow its prompts to install LOS to the emulated 10MB ProFile hard disk.
Then hit the Lisa's Continue button, and after a couple seconds, the LOS installer should appear. Go to LisaEm's File menu and selected "insert diskette." From the dialog box that appears, first select the "All (*.*)" option from the top "Enable" popup menu, THEN select the first of the Lisa Office System disk images.Ĩ. The next screen shows a picture/dialog indicating that you need to insert a floppy and continue.ħ. From the Lisa's "Startup From" menu, select the first option, start from floppy. You can't mount it under OS X, because it has an unreadable file system to OS X.Ħ. NOTE: This step causes another file to be created in the same directory as the ROM file(s) a disk image named "lisaem-profile.dc42." This is your emulated hard drive. After a few seconds, the Lisa self-test screen appears, followed by the Lisa's "Startup From" menu. A dialog box pops up asking, "Hard Drive Size?" I picked the 2nd option, "10M - any OS". Then go to LisaEm's File menu and selected "Run". So, if you move your LisaEm files or rename the enclosing folder, things will break unless you modify the conf file manually, or re-set your preferences (which may in turn kick off a whole new hard drive setup process - I don't know yet.)ĥ. There does not appear to be a way to override that location furthermore, that conf file contains entries with absolute file paths to the ROM and (later) hard disk files. NOTE: This step causes two files to be generated: a "boot.ROM" file in the same directory as the boot.hi and boot.lo files, AND a nf file in your home directory. You do not need to convert them any further.Ĥ. Un-binhex the LOS files with Stuffit Expander. Inside it, put the LisaEm app, boot.hi, and boot.lo, and the five Lisa Office System disk images from here: ģ.

Make a folder under your Mac OSX home dir, called LisaEM. That caused the emulator to throw an error about the checksum, then crash. I attempted to rename those files in the Finder, and it appeared to work however, OS X retained the additional ".bin" suffix, so the filenames were actually "boot.hi.bin" and "boot.lo.bin". (I thought ProFiles were only 5MB.) This process has been tested on an Intel iMac running OS X 10.4.9. The rev B is available now for $109 at Big Mess o’ Wires.Here is a step-by-step guide to set up the LisaEm emulator with Lisa Office System on an emulated 10MB ProFile drive.

For full details, see the instruction manual. Model B reads and writes emulated 140K, 400K, 800K, or 1.4MB floppy disk images, or hard disk images up to 2GB, if supported by your Apple computer. Same Great Emulation Features – All of the time-tested Macintosh, Apple II, and Lisa disk emulation features from Model A are still present. It also eliminates the risk of potential damage if an Emu board running the Apple II firmware is inadvertently connected to a Mac or Lisa computer. This circuitry will help protect the Floppy Emu from electrical damage caused by voltage spikes and surges. Improved Protection Circuitry – Model B features improved protection circuitry on the disk drive interface connector. SD Card Hot-Swap – The SD card can be removed and re-inserted while the Floppy Emu is powered on. This will make it easier to find suitable SD card media, since the older full-size SD cards are becoming rare. MicroSD Card Support – The SD card slot is now a push-push microSD type, identical to what’s used in most mobile phones. Classic Macintosh and Lisa disk emulation is still supported too. While Model A required a separate Universal Adapter for the best Apple II compatibility, Model B has the equivalent functionality built-in. The new rev B brings welcoming new features:īuilt-in Apple II Compatibility – Model B is directly compatible with the entire Apple II line, emulating a 5 1/4 inch disk, 3 1/2 inch disk, or Smartport hard disk. The Emu behaves exactly like a real disk drive, requiring no special software or drivers.
It uses a removable SD memory card and custom hardware to mimic an Apple floppy disk and drive, or an Apple hard drive. Floppy Emu is a Floppy Drive emulator for the Apple II and Macintosh classic.
