There's now a version of GEM you can run on a Lisa. But 68KMLA is down so I have no easy way to link to the relevant thread. :(

Whoo, has anyone actually got a working Lisa? Or is this emulation?

[cmrdporcupine]

If I recall it's been done on both (emulator and real hardware).

The original version of GEMDOS (the replacement for DOS or CP/M when running on 68k) was in fact developed on the Lisa as a 68k dev machine [also some Motorola VME dev boards I think?) before actual Atari HW was available. So it's a full circle thing.

There are a lot of working Lisas out there.

But there weren't too many Lisas (working or otherwise) when the thing came out!

Well OK, "a lot" can mean a lot of different things depending on context ;)

In the vintage computer collector/enthusiast scene, there are probably dozens of working Lisas. How's that?

Yep, I know about all that - I had big cupboard full of the damn things in my flat in london [various ataris (6502 and 68k based ones), dragon 32 (coco lookalike), peculiar IBM pc clones, and other stuff]

A few years ago I got my nephew to do up the flat for sale, and he junked the lot - at some point you have to get rid of things.

I will never buy anything except a laptop again.
