I received a mail message asking about using HFS on the Lisa. I
figured there might be some general interest on the net about this
topic, so here we go:
Larry (I lost the message, so I don't know his last name) asked how I
was using HFS with a Corvus. I got HFS working by putting the Corvus
driver (which is very simple) into a System 2.1 file and booting from
the modified disk. I put System 2.1 and Finder 5.0 on the hard disk.
Larry also asked how he could use HFS with a Profile. As far as I
know, HFS does not work with the Lisa, since it is a ROM patch.
I assume that if they make a Lisa version available, it will
be in the form of a revision to MacWorks. It took me a while to
realize that the "Hard Disk 20" just will not install on a Lisa!
It is unfortunate, but for the moment there is NO way of using HFS on
a Profile or even on a floppy while using the Lisa.
If any of this is wrong, maybe Larry Rosenstein knows the gospel? :-)
