 Hi all,

I just acquired a Lisa 2/10 and I'm trying to figure things out.

The system starts to boot from the hard drive and comes up with a
MacWorks/Sun Remarketing logo, then asks for a diskette.  Looks like
it's running MacWorks XL, is that correct?  The system still has regular
Lisa H/88 ROMs so it's not messed with hardware-wise.  

How come it wants a diskette and won't boot from the HD? 
Sounds like the software is not seralized properly and it wants to see the
diskette to validate the software.  (the Lisa serialized the software to
the machine on initial load)

...
 I tried putting in a System 1 diskette from my Mac 128
and it gave me the
"Welcome to Macintosh" splash and then died with a Sad Mac FE0002.

Do I need a special Mac System version diskette to boot this sucker? 
Yep...
