Not sure if anyone is still interested, but Adrian Black got one of these cards to work with a modern upscaler recently: IIRC he discovered that the "monitor present?" signal can be emulated by shorting two pins on the connector. He describes it in detail in the video. Cheers mikerofone

Thanks Rick! Got in and found the good stuff. Now to writing some 400k disks. :)

Great, thanks for the pointer! I saw lisalist2.com in some places, but didn't know that registering unlocks more access. Will register and peruse, thank you! :D Cheers mikerofone

Hi all, I'm taking my Lisa to a hands-on exhibition this weekend and just realized that the Office System I have installed is in English, but most of the audience will be German-speaking. Does anyone know where I can get disk images for a German copy of LOS? I don't really care about the exact...

Ohhh nice, thanks for the quick help, lisa2! :) Where would one normally learn such a thing? I only have the machine, no manuals. Sounds like I should find some Lisa Office System manuals (or PDFs of those), I wonder what other tricks I'm missing out on. I tried googling it and also searching...

Hi all, is there a way of rebooting a Lisa that doesn't involve pushing the front switch to power it down, and then fire it back up again? While that works, I feel like I'm stressing the components unnecessarily when doing so. Use cases include rebooting to switch from LOS to Macintosh System...

I have documented that fault at https://caps.wiki/wiki/Macintosh_Plus#Wobbly_/_wavy_/_shaking_screen, hoping that it will be easier to discover for others in the future. :)

Hi Davey and others, thank you for posting this! I got a Mac Plus recently which booted once or twice with a very wobbly screen, but then failed to generate anywhere close to 12/5V. The voltage was kind of randomly stuck between 8-10V on 12V, and adjusting the regulating resistor no longer had...

It came out well enough: https://www.thingiverse.com/make:1013005 Since Thingiverse ate the photos I uploaded (or they are slow to publish) here they are again: I'll need to edit the battery door models to add the hole for my cables, so that'll have to wait for another day. Thanks again...

Avondragon, thanks for the links! :) I tried searching for "programmer switch" on Thingiverse, but hadn't thought to search for "programmers switch". Thingiverse search isn't very forgiving it seems. Googling brought me here, and after seeing the battery door here I simply forgot to also try...

Hi all, thanks for sharing your works! I'm looking for 3D models of the Mac Plus battery door as well as the programmer / reset switch. @SDUBjed, any chance you still have the files for the battery cover you posted nearly four years ago? My Plus still has its cover but I wired an external 3xAA...
