Re: Lisa

It depends. If you have 5 1/4" disks, you can't use them on ANYTHING but a
Lisa. This is because Lisa's have special "twiggy" disk drives that have 2
read/write heads instead of making them double sided, the result being a
disk that looks like 2 disks merged together. I don't know about 3.5"
disks, though.
