Can you not try the IWM in your working Lisa, or
is it not socketed
there? I assume the ROM is different between a machine with a 2/10 I/O
board and an older I/O board + Lisalite, so you can't try that in the
other machine.
No I can't. The Lisa 2 and the Lisa 2/10 I/O boards differ. The Lisa 2 has
no IWM but instead used the LisaLight board (which I gather fools the machine into thinking it has a Twiggy drive). The
Lisa 2/10 on the other
I am not conviced it does a complete fooling :-). I would not be at all
suprised if you had to change the disk controller firmware ROM when you
replaed a Twiggy drive with a 3.5" Sony + Lisalite board.
I woudl not be totally suprised though if the disk cotnroller ROM used on
an original Lisa + Lisalite + Sony drive and that used on a Lisa 2/10 +
Sony drive were very similar.
