If you use a 800k Floppy, which you modified to use in your Lisa, you of

ask me why one should do this.

You'll need a Computer with a 800k 3.25" floppy to duplicate the disks , so
that they could be read by a Lisa. All machines from 1984 up to August 1989,
like a Mac 128k, Fat Mac 512k, Plus, SE, SE/30, have such a

All Lisas quite OK ? Best ! So it should be for years and years.
Nothing important today, but I just discovered something for real Macmaniacs

Hi Dan,
if you have a little spare time left, just take a look at this Link.
It's really worth to look at, and it's from a human-user, who "works" with

all of you three a happy new year and your Lisa's, too. They 've been

Hi Alex,
unfortunately I have to notice, that the pot R11 2k Ohm is not the cause for
that little problem I got with the power supply. As I described, I changed
the whole part platine 99P0108-000 (where this pot is mounted on) and I'm
still not able to start the unit. Nevertheles I tried to chang
Hello !
a big THANK's special to Alex.
If the output pot is located at the vertical positioned extra platine
plugged in the middle of the main platine, this could not be the cause for
the error, because I replaced the whole platine to check if it could be
this, but no better results. Must be the

Hello Alex,
be careful, if you have a Lisa1. Handle the old Lady with care, she's much
more worth than a Lisa2. But you can switch the boards for testing, not the
whole rack, it will not fit, but the 3 or 4 boards, by opening carefully the
red, blue and (1 or 2) yellow bar on top of each board.

Hi Alex,
if I read your explanations - and understand that right - I can fist only
say one thing. Don't panic you can kill a Lisa by connecting the Monitor-Out
to a TV. The error is perhaps an unfortunate accident.

Hello Marianna,
I just bought a Mouse for about US 10 $. It came bundled with a Keyboard for
an 128k and an external floppy-drive. All together complete working, but

Do you search for a Lisa keyboard and mouse or sell one?

Hi Anthony,
I could perhaps help you with your burned-out power supply.
If you want to solve this - might be minor problem - mail me a short
description, what type of supply it is and whether you are able to change
and solder some components. But be aware, it's high voltage and danger risk
