Does yours
have an external parallel connector or an internal
hard disk or possibly both? I'm pretty sure all Mac XL's lack the
external parallel connector, unless there's an expansion card fitted
for use with the Profile drive, and that it would be like a Lisa 2/10
That's not completely true -- at least for the Mac XL that I've seen. The
plug for the internal hard disk was ran via ribbon-cable out of the case,
and connected into the external port.
If the Mac XL in question has the external parallel port,
Lisalite board, and old style I/O board, then it's not a Mac XL but
an upgraded Lisa 2 or Lisa 2/5. The factory Macintosh XL's were all
based on the Lisa 2/10 with the internal parallel port connector, for
use with the Widget hard disk, and the updated I/O board which no
longer required the use of the Lisalite board.
Unfortunatley, I've never been able to find a document which
indicated what model #'s corresponded to which machines.
