I picked up a Lisa today but it's missing the "V" key from the keyboard.
Is the keytop the same as that used on any of the other Apples or any other
computer?
I also got a ProFile external disk drive but no connecting cable. Is
this just a straight through cable? If not can someone post the pinouts?
Finally, I'm getting a memory error when it boots. It shows a picture
with MEM 2 folder crossed out and either "70" or "71" shown below it.
Does
anyone know exactly what this means or how I can fix it?

Open up the back and see if you've got a leaky battery. I know this is a
problem with the Lisa 2/5 and I got my system and pulled the battery just
as it was starting to cause damage. You don't need a battery in the system
to run.

It's straight through, but you may need to remove one pin at one end to fit
a keyed DB25 connector. I don't remember which pin, but if you need to do
it, it will be obvious.
