Re: My first lisa.

[George Wolter]

Do you hear the disk drive spinning? The last time I had my Lisa 2/10 
set up the internal hard drive was stuck. With the front panel off you 
can see a flywheel on the underside of the hard drive. I had to jumper 
the switch that prevented running the Lisa with the front panel off, 
power up, and flip the flywheel with a pencil eraser. The drive then 
spun up and worked. After running a while I was able to shut down and 
restart without problems.

He was right, I took the machine apart and found the cable to the power
switch was disconnected.  I attached it, made sure both microswitches
were engaged and wow .. it went through its tests and wanted a startup
device.  Unfortunately the disk drive doesn't seem bootable.  I can
hear it seek each time I ask it to boot from there, but it reports '82'
with a cheX over the platter icon.
I don't have a floppy set, but I'll check ftp.info.apple.com to see if
they are hanging around them.
