Re: Wanting a Lisa

[George Wolter]

I have a Lisa 2/10 that can run as a dual boot Lisa/Mac. I have the 
LisaOS on a 5 meg Profile external hard drive and MacWorks Plus (System 
6.0.2) on the 10 Meg internal hard drive. I never changed the ROM to 
change the video to square pixels so the Lisa personality still works 
and the screen aspect ratio is distorted in the MacOS. Mine is a later 
model Lisa with two serial ports and a card for the parallel port for 
the Profile. I have not fired it up for a year or two, but if you have 
questions ask and I will try to remember how things worked.

Greetings,

    I just joined this list a few days ago, and have been lurking for a
while.  I figured the Lisa crowd wouldn't be too huge, in comparison 
to some
of the other lists I recently joined (Compact Macs, LEM Swap).  I'm 
curious
to know what my chances of finding a Lisa would be.  I would prefer to 
be
able to locate a unit somewhere in the vicinity of my locale 
(Cincinnati,
OH) since it would probably be easier than trying to ship (and less 
costly
too!)  My background is Electrical Engineering, in which I am 
currently a
student, so I am open to challenges.  I have wanted to find a Lisa for 
many
years now, so maybe I can eventually get my hands on one, and get it 
into
working shape.

    One thing I am less clear about is the Lisa/Mac XL situation.  Can 
a Mac
XL be made to run the Lisa Office System again?  If I am able to get a 
Lisa,
I can't see much for having one that acts like a large Compact Mac... 
have
enough of those already!  So if you have any advice on this, or 
anything in
general for a "well-read but otherwise Lisa beginner" please let me 
know

Thanks!
Chris
