    Lisa Keyboard Repair

    I ordered a Lisa keyboard pad repair kit from an overseas eBay seller, but my order disappeared and there is no trace of the seller anymore. Does anyone know of a seller that can supply the repair pads? I could make them myself but would much rather buy a premade set.

    Apple II on the Mac

    Did Apple ever consider offering a 68k Mac running the Apple II OS? Could it be a dual boot system? It could have then run the huge amount of Apple II software available at the time.

The Mac is a SE dual internal floppy Superdrive model, with a third external floppy drive. I have been able to format a double sided disk. It boots up ok (a bit slow) using a DD or HD...
