OK. I know it's not an #applelisaclone but my #applelisa successfully booted my #arduinofile ! Few steps backwards today. The SIMM sockets were the wrong dimensions! So I've a box full of them needing a project. The resistor arrays for the GALSCSI arrived and they're installed. That card, the parallel card and now the arduinofile are all complete. IO card just waiting on its prom. I can then test that in the Lisa. CPU is waiting on prom, cpu and 2148's. Cable for video yet to be made as I changed my mind and am awaiting on a cable to hack it with. Will be better once arrived.
#ArduinoFile
Built a second #ArduinoFile (v4 boards) for the #AppleLisaClone. Happy with how it turned out. In an effort to keep the cable as short as possible, I turned it into a “backpack” of sorts by securing the DB25 to the board with some twisted wire. Neat and tidy! And of course, using rainbow cable is a must! 🌈
Wait, what’s this? It looks like an Atari ST screen? And it’s running on my #AppleLisaClone?!
This is #GEMDOS from Digital Research (the CP/M folks) for the #AppleLisa.
The Lisa and GEMDOS was the first development kit for Atari ST TOS which I find fascinating.
It can boot from both floppy (#FloppyEmu) or install it to the ProFile (#ArduinoFile).
I followed these instructions:

I also discovered an issue with #ArduinoFile that was preventing it from accessing data in hard drive images over ~16MB in size (while in MacWorks). Figured out the issue and now I’m almost running out of space on a 32MB image 😅
If you’re curious, you can read about the R/W issue I was having with the #ArduinoFile in this GitHub issue.
