Recovering DC42 images?

The type should be 'dImg' and the creator should be 'dCpy'. --Dave On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 11:09 AM, Ian King <IanK at vulcan.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > This is one I've been working on for a bit without success, and I'm hoping > the community has some ideas to offer. > > I'm attempting to recover the Lisa Xenix images on BitSavers so I can boot > up a Lisa for an exhibit.
