==Installation==
===Pre-installation===
Download the emulator from [Sunder https://lisa.sunder.net/downloads.html Sunder]. The latest version, as of this writing, is 1.2.7 Release Candidate 4. ItHowever, I had issues with 1.2.7 so I recommend using 1.2.6 instead. Both comescome with versionsinstallers for modern Windows and macOS.
 
We will also want to download the OS itself. You can download the last version of the Lisa Office System from MEGA [https://mega.nz/file/dB9niAhL#psTMJAw8qCKgjlZlgnUQH6p3NUbEYJ3AxFX_PY8Qi0w here]. Extract the .rar somewhere on your system.
 
===Running the emulator===
Next we will start start the program. If you're running a version after 1.2.0, you don't need any ROMs. You should see something like this (photo downsized, click on it for a full screenshot):

What's cool is that you interact with the PC by clicking on either the floppy drive or the power button. For now, click on the floppy disk iconon the right side (highlighted) and locate the extracted <code>Lisa Office System (1984)(Apple)(Disk 1 of 5).image</code> file. (You can also click File -> Insert Diskette). Note: On 1.2.6, you may have to click on the menu that says "<code>Disk Copy (*.dc42)</code>" and select "<code>All (*.*)</code>".

Another window will come up asking what hard drive size you want to use. For this, I highly recommend using 10 MB, but you can go up to 40 MB using MacWorks.
