Description

Rare, impressive lot of software and prerelease software disks for the Apple Lisa and its ‘Twiggy’ FileWare floppy disk drives

Large lot of software for the innovative Apple Lisa 1 desktop computer, highlighted by sixteen 5.25˝ floppy disks and nine 3.5˝ floppy disks. This exceptional and complete system comes with eight binders that include the following Twiggy disks: Office System I (2), Office System II (2), LisaDraw, LisaWrite, LisaCalc, LisaProject, LisaGraph and LisaList. Additionally includes 3.5˝ floppy disks for essentially the same group of software: LisaDraw, LisaWrite, LisaTerminal, LisaCalc, LisaProject, LisaGraph, and LisaList. The lot also features two rare Pre-Release MacWorks Disks (3.5˝). Includes three 5.25˝ disks for Apple Lisa System Install Version 1.1, Accounts Receivable Version 1.1, and System Install Version 1.1 from BPI SYSTEMS, as well as three 5.25˝ FileWare Apple Disks for the famous Twiggy Drive. In overall very good to fine condition.

The inclusion of both 5.25˝ and 3.5˝ disks for most of this software is representative of the evolution of the Lisa: the computer was originally issued with dual 'Twiggy' 5.25˝ drives, which were expensive to produce and often faulty. Recognizing this flaw, Apple gave existing owners of the Lisa 1 the opportunity to upgrade, free of cost, to a single 400K Sony 3.5˝ microfloppy drive, which was then used in the Lisa 2.
