Does anyone know how I can get my Lisa to run Mac+ software I been trying for quite some time with no luck. I've been using Lisa Macworks and the Macworks System Diskettes, with no luck on running Mac+ software. If I load a diskette formated on a Mac+ I get not Macintosh diskette intialize or cancel. I can create files on the Lisa made with MacDraw and look at them on a Mac+ or print them but I can't do the reverse. Can anyone help me out ? Any information would be greatly appreciated. ------- DCMCU@CUNYVM Dana C.

Yes its true that the mac + has double sided disks and the Lisa doesn't. However the problem goes deeper than that, a large number of mac+ programs (Including Hypercard, Sob. Sob.) will not run on the Lisa. There was a rumor that there was a Macworks 4.something in the pipeline but I havent heard any more. I would like to be able to for example use system 4.1 to allow hierachical folders and walking menus, but this doesn't work either. I can't remember the numbers but the system folder for my Lisa is about 2 years old and cannot be upgraded. Some problems I have with the latest Macworks (the one that boots from the hard disk) is that it causes the screen to be very blurred, this appears to be a software problem because it doesnt happen on the old Macworks, nor on the Lisa Office system. I am baffled, any ideas anyone? _________________________________________________________________________ |Sean Hayes, Hewlett Packard Laboratories, Bristol, England| |net: esh@hplb.uucp esh%shayes@hplabs.HP.COM ..!mcvax!ukc!hplb!esh|
