Gemdos + GEM for lisa

tested on real hardware (lisa 2/10 + Xprofile) ... until command boot (my lisa keyboard is faulty with lots of partial pads inside :) )

 
Hello,

I tried to create a 400K Lisa floppy with both Dart and DiskCopy 4.2

Floppy creation doesn't report any error, but when I boot the Lisa with that floppy, it stops with the hourglass after 10-20 seconds.
I have a Lisa 2/10 with 400K floppy, 2MB Ram, X/Profile and SCSI disk (tried with both switched off).

Do you have any idea why it doesn't boot?

Thank you!

it appears that the gemdos part is unfinished, but I posted a new image that should work for 1.5 and 2Mb ramsize.

The problem with more than 1mb is that video base address is not where the coders from DRI hardcoded it. I added a builtin command "MAGIC" in command.prg to force the normal value of 1Mb lisa.
