Hi all: MY experience is Do NOT use an OS over 7.5 (not 8.0 not 9 ) and do not use a power Mac. I Use a LC 3 to make images for my mac128/512 and my Lisa ( I never had a problem yet). Be sure to use NEW Double sided (NOT High density discs) aks 720k, 800k disks. An SE-30 is a good choice, takes up very little room and are cheap. An Se is ok unless you use dart and then the SE is slow, due to the compression and & decompression needed for Dart as compared for disk copy 4.2 and 6.x . bill ..
