I don't have much of any details, but I can point you where to find out.
My cousin, David Ungar, was involved in it, and in "Smalltalk on a Risc",
while he was getting his PhD at berkeley. One time, when I visited him in
Evans hall, they had a Lisa (with hard disk!, and twiggy drive (with the
double set of access holes in the floppy to make it easier to put
thumbprints on the media)).
HAH! Small World! Long ago, Dave was a good friend of mine at Washington
University, haven't seen him in a few years. I used to go out to
Berkeley on
experiments, and dropped in for a chat several times while he was at Sun
in Mountain View.
One time Dave took me down the hall and introduced me to John Ousterholt.
I didn't really know who he was at the time, but I do now. Of course,
everything
they did there was WAY ahead of its time.
Jon
