WOOHOOO!!!
I just aquired two Apple Lisa 2 units. Both are complete with Profile
drives and printers (as well as keyboard and mouse).
Plus a spare Profile drive, and an assortment of software.
I think this makes up for the otherwise crappy year I've been having!!!
WOOHOO!!!

Lucky bastards! I would have said the same thing about two months ago if
a certain member of this list (*cough, cough, cough, Jim Willing, cough,
cough*) would move has @$$ & send me the LISA 2 that I rightfully paid
for.
It's times like this that I wish I knew two nice Italian boys named Tony
& Ceasar!

Do they have both a "Reset" and "Interrupt" buttons in the back or
just
"Reset"? If the former it's a Lisa 2/10; the latter then it's a Lisa 2
(upgrade from a Lisa 1).

In the latter case it could either be an upgraded Lisa 1, or a Lisa 2/5.
There are two different backplanes, the original for the Lisa 1 and
later the 2/5, and a newer backplane for the Lisa 2/10 and Macintosh XL.
The connectors for the I/O card and the disk cabling are different, so
they are not interchangeable, nor are the I/O cards. But the CPU cards
are interchangeable provided that you use the right boot EPROMs. Rev. H
will work for the Lisa 1, Lisa 2/5, and Lisa 2/10. If you have a
Mac XL or a Lisa 2 with a "screen kit", you need rev 3A.

You lucky devil. Have
fun with your new toys :)
Just remember - they weren't made to sit in a cupboard or garage propping up
the roof - they were made to be used :)
Oh, and be careful with them, what with their rarity and the coolness factor.
Now I guess you could get some car window/bumper stickers made up - "My other
computer is an Apple Lisa" :)
I think this makes up for the otherwise crappy year
I've been having!!!
I'll say...
Later.

I'm scared to use mine 'cos it's only got the 110V PSU, and even though
I've
got a suitably beefy step-down transformer I'm still not convinced I'm not
damaging it!
cheers (See if this message gets through!)
