WTB: Mac XL or late model LISA (non working unit is ok)

Actually any LISA is fine. I'm just thinking I may be able to get a late model cheaper. Anyone got a spare they don't need. A non working unit is ok as It's going to become my latest (long term) fixer-upper project. Please email me. Cheers Phil -- LisaList is sponsored by

I read in the Sun Remarketing 'do it yourself guide' that Lisa I/O cards will not work in a XL. My question is, what is it about an XL that makes it an XL, and what is it about a Lisa that makes it a lisa? is it the Motherboard? For example: if I had a lisa 2 upgraded to a XL (new roms for

Question about 1 vs 2

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 (

I think you need the upgraded roms to use 800k drives. I can't tell if you have theses. I saw the pics. The first think I would do is remove the leaking batteries from the I/O board, and clean the area below. Do this soon or the leaking acid will destroy your board. Phil On Nov 6, 2005
