The hard drive used in my Lisa is indeed not of the ProFile or Widget type. It is a 3.5" disk, made by Miniscribe, which uses two card-edge connectors on the end (otherwise known as MFM, if I remember correctly). The only place I've seen these drives have been on the hard-cards which are sometimes seen in older computers unable to support a hard drive installation otherwise. I may have a replacement hard drive of the same size and connection style on the way, but unfortunately, I don't have any software which I could put on it. I'll take some pictures of the controller and drive once I can get the drive cage out (the knob is on there pretty tightly at the moment). -Adam
