Re: Apple Lisa SCO Xenix boot floppy copy

["Giorgio Ungarelli" <giorgio@*no_spam*ungarelli.net>]

Thanks Tim.

Amongst other computers, I also have a 1MB Lisa 2/5 with two Profiles that
runs LOS 3.1 with the 7/7 applications and Lisa Workshop 3.0 on one Profile,
and MacWorks XL 3.0 with System 5.3 and Finder 4.1 on the other Profile...
With all the original documentation (many binders)...

Just to top it off, I also have all the documentation and software for the
Lisa Xenix OS, Xenix Development System, Xenix Text Processing System, Lyrix
Word Processor, Informix Relational DB and Multiplan.

But I still can't figure out how to copy the Xenix boot floppy while running
Xenix on the Lisa!  Sure I can do it with Dart on a Mac, but is there a way
to do it while running Xenix?
