Thanks for posting the link to this. BTW, everyone -- I managed the Computer History Museum's Lisa 40th anniversary event earlier this year -- if you haven't already watched it, check it out: Event info: https://computerhistory.org/events/happy-40th-birthday-lisa/ https://computerhistory.org/events/happy-40th-birthday-lisa/ Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCvQbGXPtBU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCvQbGXPtBU Recap blog post: https://computerhistory.org/blog/happy-40th-birthday-lisa/ https://computerhistory.org/blog/happy-40th-birthday-lisa/

  The author of the referenced emulator, Ray Arachelian, unfortunately passed away early this year, a few days before the Lisa source code was published by the CHM. Since you are one of the responsibles at the CHM, you might consider archiving a copy of his website, which includes numerous valuable documents about the Lisa, not all of which may be available elsewhere.

    Mentioned source code for the Apple Lisa: Press release: https://computerhistory.org/press-releases/chm-makes-apple-lisa-source-code-available-to-the-public-as-a-part-of-its-art-of-code-series/ https://computerhistory.org/press-releases/chm-makes-apple-l... Source: https://info.computerhistory.org/apple-lisa-code https://info.computerhistory.org/apple-lisa-code Edit: I really like the sources, especially knowing how old they are (1983, 1984, Apple Computer Inc), they are aesthetically fulfilling to me.

      Here is a tool to view, cross-reference and navigate the source code: https://github.com/rochus-keller/LisaPascal https://github.com/rochus-keller/LisaPascal; Pascal, Clascal and assembler files are supported.

  WHAT?! Aw, man that's terrible news that I'd not heard yet. I worked with Ray in the late 90's in NYC. I remember that "I'm working on a Lisa Emulator" distracted us for an extra hour of geeking out during his job interview.

It's not easy to find from the linked website, but this appears to be the most recent code on github: https://github.com/rayarachelian/lisaem https://github.com/rayarachelian/lisaem There is also this repo which was last updated in 2018: https://github.com/rayarachelian/lisaem-1.2.x https://github.com/rayarachelian/lisaem-1.2.x

It’s so sad. Almost none of the reference links at the bottom of Ray’s homepage work (at least the dozen or so I clicked). Definitely could use some restoration. Great walk down memory lane of my childhood Apple Lisa (a hand me down from my uncle’s business).
