I happened across a Lisa 2 (Model A6SB100)
this past weekend...Seems to be in fair
[...]
Does anyone know if I can substitute
a keyboard and mouse from an early Mac?
Mouse yes. Keyboard no.
This critter also came with an Apple Profile
(model A9M0005) external hard disk that
seems to attach via a db-25 cable (to
the lisa's parallel port?) I noticed
that one of the pins on the lisa's
parallel port connector(db-25 female)is
blocked with epoxy (probably to prevent
people from connecting a serial cable
to it). Can I simply use a straight-through
db25 cable (with the blocked pin removed)
to connect the profile to the lisa,
Yes.
or did apple use some sort of proprietary
wiring scheme?
Fortunately not.
Good luck!
