Was Apple actually using the "Twiggy Drive" in the Lisa?
I did a LOT of research on it back in the day. IIRC, I discovered that the Twiggy drive project was an abject failure and wasn't considered ready to ship for the Mac at its introduction. Hence, I'd be very surprised if they had used it on the original Lisa. The Mac was originally designed to use the Shugart 5.25" FDD. Now I wish I'd taken Tom Owad up on writing an article about how I came up with all the information I did in determining this to be the case. It's probably all still in the 'fritter archive."
