Apple Lisa 2/10 - Progress

Ok, for those that have been following this project of mine there has been progress. I had a friend visit today who owns a Lisa 2/10. He bought some of his Lisa ICs with him for swap-out diagnostic purposes. The cause of the Lisa 2/10 failing its diagnostic test was indeed one of the two ICs under suspicion on the I/O board . It was the IWM Apple 344-0041 (Integrated WOZ machine controller). The other suspect., the ROM, appears OK (even though it seems a highly unusual version..I should learn to use my new (unused) ROM burner and take a copy of the ROM for posterity). However, the widget drive itself throws up an error. First things first though. I'll source a replacement IWM chip first, then worry about the widget drive. It might just need some exercise. My friend also had an IDEFile ProFile drive emulator which we hooked up to my working Lisa 2. Whoo hoo, it was great to see the Lisa Office Suite boot into action. It looked very cool and in 1983 it would have looked even cooler! Tez
