Yes - Ray Arachlian at sunder.net wrote LisaEm. He would likely be a great resource and is an approachable guy.
There is also a fairly active Lisa group at lisalist@googlegroups.com with a lot of knowledgeable "old-timers".
I have Lisas running both Macworks and LisaOS and Office 7/7 if I can render any assistance. I don't think I want to ship a whole machine, but I might be persuaded to ship my Sun Remarketing internal HD to populate your local machine. I'd have to check it's still running/bootable - it's been a while
I've never seen the PFG software you show. Perhaps I have a too early version of Macworks, or don't have the hardware.
I'm trying to think how I would use a Lisa-capable FloppyEmu. I can see the utility if a guy didn't have any access to a 400k drive to put into the machine. However, I think a ProFileEmu or WidgetEmu would be much more "useful" since Lisa really needs that mass-storage device to be usable, and working ProFiles and Widgets are much harder to find than a 400k disk drive. There are devices that do this - X/Profile and I think one other who's name escapes me. They use either IDE drives or CF cards.
From what I know the mass-storage interface for Widget/ProFile is it's own thing, and likely not related to floppy protocol (or hardware), but I definitely could be wrong. Ray A. would probably be able to tell you off the bat from writing the emulator. IF Lisa can deal with a "floppy" of size X - kind of like an HD20 is a "big floppy" to a Mac - then it might have more utility.
Not trying to put a damper on the project, but for me, I don't know if this would buy me much. I'm still happy to loan hardware or do testing if it will help.
