I bought a set from VintageMicro, but the boot disk failed to work, so he's sending a replacement set. >2) The only times it has shut itself off was while sending data to the printer, correct. Prior to the last occurrence, I had the Lisa running for well over an hour without doing any printing, and it printed fine for at least a half-hour before shutting itself off. >3) That is a good idea.
