    ProFile Drive Emulator for Lisa?

    Not really a "special", the X/Profile is a current product and fully supported, the parts are normally stocked, and X/Profiles are built to order. I am not the seller, but If you PM me I will help you get a quote for price and lead time. X/Profile is an amazing device, I have four of them!

    Apple Lisa Chirping

    You have an electrical short somewhere in your Lisa. Try pulling out the IO card and see if she powers up then. If she does, then it's an issue with the I/O board. If it's not the I/O board, then try unplugging everything you can ( disk drives, RAM cards, expansion cards, etc. ) till she comes up.

    Cannot get MacIP to boot on RPI

    My guess is that the OP is referring to this: https://www.macip.net/macippi/ This image was developed specifically for the OrangePi Zero One, I am guessing the issue that the OP is trying this on the OrangePi Zero 3, and that is the issue. I have this setup running on a OrangePi Zero One and...

    Making Disks for the Lisa 400K Drive

    It's important you use Diskcopy 4.2 and not version 6.x.x. Diskcopy 4.2 preserves the Lisa tag bytes, later versions don't. One other way to make Lisa disks is to use the Lisa herself using BLU. Lisa BLU You can load BLU on bare metal over the serial port, then make a BLU diskette. From...

    Apple IIgs PAL video timing?

    Hi Steve, I am not sure there ever was a "PAL" version of the Apple 2gs, they were all NTSC ( apples variation of NTSC at least ). I do have two apple 2gs systems and an apple 2gs RGB monitor for testing, if there is some way I can help, just PM me. Rick

    MacTwister: a MacCon/Etherport/Dayna Twisted Pair breakout board

    I would be very interested in testing this card. I currently have a Dana card in my SE/30 with a AUI/BNC board. Using the 10BaseT transceiver is a pain. Rick

    Mouse Card for Apple ///

    Have you tried that card in an apple 2 to make sure it's functional? What slot do you have the mouse card in? My A2 mouse card has the same P/N. Here is a quick and dirty video of it working:

    Mouse Card for Apple ///

    You will need the sos driver for the mouse, I think it is on one of these this disks: https://apple3.org/Software/productivity/DrawOnThree.dsk https://apple3.org/Software/productivity/DrawOnThree2.dsk https://apple3.org/Software/wap/images/APPLE-3-WAP-msc-04b.dsk

    CFFA3000 and Apple ///

    Are you using the CFFA3000 driver for the A3 or the CFFA driver. The older CFFA driver will not work with the CFFA300 card.

    All the boards for a Lisa, possible to find?

    Thats not true. The 2/10 motherboard & I/O boards have been recreated. I helped to recreate them, and have complete card cages populated with newly made motherboard, I/O, CPU, and memory boards. All the components used are new or NOS. Rick

    Apple III Floppy Emu

    Hey Huxley, The adapter you have is not meant to allow you to boot an A3 from the external port. I understand your confusion, this thread had started with a post from Zezba9000 who had adapted the FloppyEmu IIc converter to boot the A3 from the FloppyEmu, but morphed into a discussion about the...

    USB Superdrive (floppy drive)?

    robin-fo is absolutely correct! Just formatted an HFS+ floppy using my M1 mini and a external USB drive. Also modern MacOS also supports PC floppies just fine.

    USB Superdrive (floppy drive)?

    Your imagining this... there never was a USB drive that supported 800K Mac format disks. The original iMac did have the signals to connect a SuperDrive to the main logic board if you added the connector and used early firmware. This was undocumented and unsupported of course.

    Whats the problem with this Apple Lisa 2/10?

    In fact it's the exact opposite! If you power the Lisa without an IO board installed she will immediately power up, and if all else is OK will display a 41 CPU card error.

    Finally manged to acquire a Lisa 2

    It’s a composite video signal but it’s not standard NTSC it runs at a higher frequency (22 kHz ??). Anyway you’re not most likely to have anything laying around that would work with it. Have you tried tweaking the parts on the back of the power supply for the brightness and the focus? Also at...

    Finally manged to acquire a Lisa 2

    If you initially leave the drive cage out, I would not be afraid to try powering it up. The DataPower PS is pretty robust and if a RIFFA cap did blow it does not damage anything.
