I have two Lisas with external disks that I operate with MacWorks 3.0. They
work great.  I had the trashed disk problem when I installed XL/Serve (third
party software).  I got around the problem by restarting off of a 3.5" disk
(with an earlier version of MacWorks, not MacTools).  I then took off 
XL/Serve and kissed that money goodbye, tookd off the systems file, then
reinstalled the systems file and MacWorks 3.0.  This has worked since then.
However, I might add that the system did its best to keep me from restarting
off of my 3." I would be insterested in the exact sequence, key stroke by
key stroke, that you use with MacTools.

By the way, I really love my Lisas and am in no hurry to replace them.

APPLE: PLEASE FIX MAC.WORKS. PLEASE.
