Steve,
One thought. Do you have a ProFile with a copy of Lisa Office on it
already, that you can plug in and see if it boots? Even though you won't be
able to open documents due the security matching, it still should boot. It
just might be a way of further reducing down the possibilities.

To what extent is it possible to configure the drive interfaces in a Lisa?
I know nothing about them, but I do remember having to putz around with

Ray's point seems a good one; is it possible that there's nothing wrong
with the Profile or cables, and it's just that the software is looking in
the wrong place for the hardware?

I've seen this kind of thing when I had a
Profile on a parallel port
card, and moved it to the motherboard parallel port or vice versa,
though with a different error code. Not sure that would help anything,
but if you did something like that, might be worth moving it to the same
slot and port. (Yes, it does care about which expansion slot # the card
is in.)
Baring that, the file system could just be toast and you'd need to run
scavenge or reinstall it.
I wish I could re-install... Per some of my other postings, neither
LisaTest nor Lisa Office install seem to think there's a workable drive
attached! The same drive(s) (I've tried three so far) pass format and
diagnostics on an Apple III. I've also been able to successfully install
MacWorksXL on all three using the same Lisa.
There must be something that Lisa OS / LisaTest does that is not involved
in MacWorks / MacOS use of the drive. Darned if I know what.
