- LOS3.1#1.dart.hqx is the binexed image, in DART format, for the
Lisa OS 3.1 US boot disk ;
- MacWorksXL_TEST_Ver3.0.dart.hqx is the binexed image, in DART
format, for the MacWorksXL TEST v.3.0 (LISA Format, it boot directly
and test correctly the Mac XL hardware).

As my HD is non functional at present, I was wondering if anyone has
a bootable disk image that they could email me and I can continue
testing my lisa with?
Or even better does anyone know where I can download a bootable disk
image?
Cheers
Phil
