Generally the later models with normal floppy drives, more RAM and hard drives will be worth more, unless you find a collector determined to have a perfect, original specification version. :) The MacWorks software can be found to convert a Lisa to a MacXL. To do a complete MacXL conversion you need the hard drive, normal floppy drives and the replacement video parts to correct the display aspect ratio. Otherwise the MacXL screen will look like it's stretched vertically. What made Lisa so rare was that Apple supposedly threw all the unsold units into a landfill. Probably had to for accounting reasons so they could be written off as a business loss. ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
