Lisa/UnixPC(Was: Say it ain't so, Joe!)

[snip] Wonderful computers. I've been working on restoring one, myself. Need a new cable for the internal HD (Or at least a new connector to plug into the HD port) Mine is a conglomeration of Mac XL (the newer model that wasn't compatible with Lisa OS) and Lisa parts. I believe the Lisa IO board is toasted, so that came from the XL (Which was functional but physically trashed) Incidentally, please let me know if you find a way to make a bootable backup of Lisa OS or Macworks. :) (Not that I'll be backing Macworks up until I fix the internal drive cable) [snip] These are great. I picked up one of these from a university I used to attend. It was about to get trashed, and somebody I knew at the time picked it up along with the seven or so others that were going out of style. Software and everything. I managed to get the SVR3.0 development kit working with the R3.5 OS that I've got. It's pretty functional at this point. Since then, I've located a brand new one at a local computer store (really), and acquired that for my SO. We've even still got the original box. :) She has since gotten some original manuals. I also have a friend who picked one up a the scrap yard for near nothing. ...had a sign taped to it that says "will not play games, good for programmers." I think they were serious.
