Jerry mentioned that the mouse is a M0100, which from memory is the same as the Mac 128/512k's mouse. However the connector on the back of the lisa does not look like the connector on the original Macs...but my memory could be fading. The 'original' mouse Jerry describes has the same ser

Thanks for everyones replies. I now have a much better idea of what I need to try. Like Adams Lisa, mine also has what looks like a Sun Rem 20 meg HD installed internally with a cable threaded through the lisa and out the back, then plugging into the parallel port. When this cable is plu

Greetings, I am currently looking around to find myself a Lisa. I was curious if anyone on list had one they were looking to part with. I haven't seen any lately on eBay and would rather find one somewhat locally, if possible. I'm located in Columbus, Ohio currently. At any rate, I am r

I'd give the cable a try. If it doesn't work, it won't hurt anything. If that's the case, pick up a modem emmiminator or null modem adapter, and plug it between the cable you have and the Lisa. -Jason From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Adam Vaughn) Reply-To: "LisaList" To: "LisaList" Subject: Re: Qu

I figured it was probably converted by Sun Remarketing, but I thought the ones they did were called Mac XLs as well. The floppy drive is an 800K type. The hard drive inside is a real oddball; the card which connects to the external parallel port is an MFM controller, which runs a Microscribe 3.5

It has an 800K drive with a 800K rom. It has a M0100 mouse which may not be the mouse it came with. I can't remember the answers to the rest of the questions. Sorry. Jerry On Oct 4, 2005, at 11:07 AM, Rick wrote: If a lisa 2 had all it's internal boards (IO, Mother, CPU and RAM) dated 1982

I don't think it is a case of wrong ROMs as they are version "H" and this computer worked fine until I moved from Atlanta to Cincinnati. I believe one of the packers dropped it into a box after my wife asked her to be more careful (can you tell I sold this unit to Phil). I used the present c

Hi Phil, short answers for long questions: This machine has a 1.2 Amp power supply,... a little 'cheep cheep!' noise This is a soon-dying Power Supply or a high current consumption by the Lisa. I would change the PS first, cause case 1 is more likely If it is the power-supply that is dying, c

Hi Lisa List, I have a couple of quick questions. If a lisa 2 had all it's internal boards (IO, Mother, CPU and RAM) dated 1982, would it be a fair guess that this was a Lisa 1 that has been upgraded to a Lisa 2? I have also noticed that at the back the drive cage some small modifications (
