Mine is a Lisa 2/10 with a 5 meg Profile for a total of 15 meg of hard drive. I installed MacWorks Plus when it was my main computer but never got the screen upgrade, I just lived with the video distortion. Last time I had it running I installed the Lisa OS on the Profile so I could boot either

I've noticed that a lot of the Lisa's on eBay are running MacWorks plus and that Lisa's that run the original Lisa OS and applications bring more $. Some day I have to drag my dual boot Lisa from the closet and get it going again I tried swapping the boot ROMs and video state ROM from the XL

Mike, I know that the last time I checked, which was a couple of years ago mind you, that one of the few Lisa/XL parts Sun Rem. still had in stock was the keyboard. Quite a while back I bought one from them and it arrived in very nice shape and with the cards in place. You might check with t

2003-08-20 Thread Dan Pennington
Recently I got the urge to get a Lisa for my collection of old Apple/Macs and started doing a little homework on Lisa's. I subscribed to this list and thought I would lurk for a while. But after two weeks of waiting for some message to lurk at, I decided to stir the pot a little. So here I a
