There is another way, I think, using Mac utilities. Mr. Craig sent =
I would guess that the Mac disk controller would be able to read the
later 3.5" Lisa disks. Of course this doesn't help with the 'twiggy'
disks.
I took disk images of the Lisa software and used my Mac to copy them to
floppy. However, IIRC I had to use one of my 68k based Macs for this, it
wouldn't work with my PowerMac 8500/180. I've noticed that the 68k Macs
are better able to handle floppies than my PowerMac.
On a slightly different note, I believe the floppies are in a different
format, so the Mac won't actually be able to read them, just make disk
images.
