That probably explains why the Twiggy's wouldn't boot on my unit then
since I replaced the I/O board from a Lisa 2.
Can we assume that the ones that were
"upgraded" were treated to a well
supervised destruction? (or are they scattered in back corners of Apple
warehouses? :-)
The upgrade consisted of replacing the drive assembly, plastic front
bezel, boot EPROMs on the CPU board, and disk controller EPROM on the
I/O board. The upgrade kit was sold to dealers and fairly expensive,
but they got the entire price refunded when they returned the old
Twiggy drive assembly to Apple. Apple destroyed the returned Twiggy drive assemblies.
Some escaped...
BTW, I saw one of the external Twiggy's at the CHM the other day. It'd
just been donated and was in the process of being accessioned.
