Ahh!  So that's what it is!  I have one of these disks I 'borrowed' from work.
We have never had a Lisa (or a Mac for that matter) and I wondered what this
'Apple FileWare' disk had on it.  Someone here has scribbled on the label and
it looks like they've tried to use it in a IBM drive.  Wouldn't work though,
as the write-enable notch is in the wrong place...

If your Lisa has these 'Twiggy' drives, I will send you the disk in the vague
hope that it may be useful.
