[comp.sys.mac] MacWorks version 3 and HFS

shb@doc.ic.ac.uk (Simon Brock) (07/17/87)

Yesterday, I finally got after many months (years??) MacWorks version 3, and
it is now running on a couple of Lisas.  However, the question remains can
we get HFS running on the Lisa hard disk and if so, how, as various experiments
with re-formatting and "Hard Disk 20" appear to fail.

The next question is, with a warm day, a strong following wind and MacWorks 4
(about which I have heard rumours of existence) could I use these machines
as spoolers/filestores on an AppleShare?  Just to know about a version 4 would
be nice.  (Hint, hint)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sun Remarketing in Utah has and is selling an HFS preboot for the Lisa/XL.  I
don't have any firsthand experience with it as we exchanged all of our XLs;
but a few people I know say good things about it (thus, this is all second-hand).
