The Lisa 2 series with the Sony 3.5" floppy drives was able to run Macintosh software via an emulator.

I used on at "Systime", a UK DEC OEM. The research department was run by John Bondi, the son of Herman Bondi, a genius Astrophyicist who backed the wrong horse in "steady state" universe theory.

I have to say, alongside the Vax 11/780 we were coding network stacks on, the lisa was just amazing. It was completely intuitive, although I did watch and follow the on-lisa video presentation on how to use it.

I have no idea where they got it from because the Lisa was not easy to buy in the UK. I never saw another one after that.

Systime went under, they were involved in a scam breaching the ITAR regulations selling DEC compatible stuff to the USSR, and in copying DEC IPR in hardware beyond the licence agreement. The headquarters was an iconic 1980s Leeds building and features in the 1985 TV series dystopian nuclear thriller "edge of darkness".
