I have successfully used a Lisa XL I/O board in my Lisa 2/5. Please note that you must use the LisaLite adapter even with the XL I/O board in a Lisa 2/5. Please use the 2/10 Floppy controller ROM in the XL I/O board. > > 3.

Any tips, tricks, or > things to watch out for? That can take a long time- and it depends how much corrosion has destroyed your IO board. I have built one working original 2/5 IO board from 2 non operational boards. A PCB electrical circuit plan would be fine to find the problems...
