If I try to repair the disk, it tells me to contact a
service specialist and mentions error 200/662. There's
no error 200 listed in the Lisa repair manual, but 662 is
ProFile parity error. It's hard to believe that, since
the drive passes format and certify on an Apple /// and
MacWorksXL on the Lisa has no problem with it.
Are you running MacWorks on the same Lisa, or a different one? And can you write to the
disk running MacWorks? Does the Profile pass the test when running LisaTest? Is this the
same Lisa that had battery corrosion on the mouse connector?
What kind of cable are you using to connect the Profile to the Lisa? I've had issues
in the past with the crimp style ribbon cables coming apart at the edge and causing flakey
behavior.
I would double check by popping the card cage out of the Lisa and using a meter to check
between the solder points on the board and the other end of the cable - make sure you
don't have any corroded pins. Of course, pin 7 won't have continuity, since
that's the key pin.
