I have the chance to pick up a Lisa CPU unit only. It
has a 3.5"
drive visible from the front, no cards visible from the outside
(couldn't open the back to look in), and does not come with keyboard
or mouse. On the back are a video out jack, two 25-pin serial
connections, a reset button and an interrupt button. The power switch
lights up and is next to the 1/4" keyboard jack.
When I turn it on, the screen looks good and I can see it going
through its paces. It complains that there is no keyboard. I have no
idea how much one would cost, but I expect it's >$50.
I do not know how to tell if has been "upgraded" to a Mac/XL or if it
is original.
What's a good price for most of a Lisa?
With no keyboard or mouse it's not of much use. And it's not the keyboard
is easy to find either (any older Mac mouse will work). The fact that it
boots means the cards are all there. $50 would be about the maximum I'd
be willing to pay.
