The ProFile disks were first used in the Apple ///, and then in the Apple ][ and the Lisa. From what I know from the Apple ][ series, ProFile disks are managed by a standar Apple ][-compatible disk controller, or a Woz (the single-chip controller first used in the Mac 128k and the Apple //c). Thus, I think all you should need is a parallel 19 wire ribbon from a male D-19 to another male D-19. Please take into account that I'm not sure. I haven't had any ProFile ever. It's only a guess based on what I know from the Apple ][ hardware. Can anyone confirm this? Perhaps if you can take some tension measures on the ports of the Lisa and the ProFile with them powered on, we could be a bit more sure... Let's see the disk port specifications in my Apple //c Reference Manual (I bet it's the same disk port used on the Lisa). Greetings, Antonio Rodr�guez (Grijan) P.S.: as you see, the Mac 128k shares much of its architecture with the Apple //c . Not very surprissing, taking into account that both of them are "compacts", they were released at about the same time, and both were designed during the same year (1.983). Ok, I know - I'm in the Compact Macs' list, and not in the Apple ]['s list. Sorry for the offtopic O:-) . -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
