Welcome!
Which Lisa model do you have? I have a Lisa 2/10 that is almost
working. The hard drive install of Sun's version of MacWorks is
apparently corrupt and it doesn't boot completely (or needs a boot
floppy that I don't have). I'm loathe to fix the MacWorks install
because I'd rather run the Lisa Office System.
I have a Lisa 2/10. Right now I am looking for a Lisa Mouse (Not a Mac
one which does work on the Lisa), a parallel interface card and a ProFile
external Hard Drive.
Problem is, the Lisa Office System is serialized, and, once installed,
it will only reinstall on the same Lisa. There are some outfits around
that will sell copies of the uninstalled disks for $170, which is a bit
steep. I have an acquaintance at a local computer recycler who has a
set and is willing to let me borrow them, but I'll have to set up a PC
with two 720K drives (which I don't have handy) and a Copy II Option
Board (which I do have) to dupe them.

***The serialization for the Lisa Office System and its tools IS
removable, if you have a Macintosh. I have the specs to do this.
Basically, you use a sector editor on a copy of the Lisa Tools disk and
remove the serial number that has been placed onto the disk.
