My Lisa 2/10 came as it is (just got it from a previous owner, who got
it from a garage sale I think), and the P.O. said that the drive would
occasionally work, but it was having trouble. I actually suspect that my
Widget is mechanically sound, but one of the controller boards has an issue.
It usually will not talk to the Lisa, and its presence isn't announced at
all, vs the normal problems which normally give an error every time.

Subject: How many working Widgets?
I'm curious. How many people have working Widgets? Did they require major
assistance, like low-level formatting, or some sort of surgery?
I bought a new Widget years ago from a company and sold it on Ebay because
I have a Lisa 2/5 with a working ProFile and couldn't attach it. I don't
know if the Widget worked or not (which is something that was clear on the
auction page). The company was a Lisa parts dealer and they said it hadn't
been used.
It seems that the ProFile is a much more reliable drive. Is it because the
Widget has some type of variable rotation speed, like the Twiggy?
