I need help from someone who has experience with the Lisa.

I have layed my hands on a Lisa and don't know anything about it.  I think it
is one of the earlier models, since it has two 5 1/4" drives and no 3 1/2".
It does have 1 meg of RAM and a hard disk of unknown size!

The problem:

I need to test the machine and the hard disk to see if they work ok.
The machine does not boot from the hard disk.  Unfortunately, I don't have
any system or software on 5 1/4" floppies to boot from floppy.

The request:

Can anybody give me some help with getting this beast to boot.  Does anyone
have any system software on 5 1/4" disks that I can try.  If I find out that
the thing works, I will be willing to spend money on upgrading it with a
3 1/2" drive, etc.

Thanks in advance
