    Apple Lisa with Asset tags

    Awesome! Both of mine are 2/10s they both came with the screen mod but I don't think it was original since they were made around about Q3 '84, I forgot to say that mine actually don't have the "Property of Apple Computer" labels, they just have the metal plaque-like tag

    Apple Lisa with Asset tags

    Do you mean like the CPU and IO board etc in the back? If so no they look standard, although I haven't seen a Lisa up close before, these are my first. Yup the serial number looks normal but as above I haven't seen one up close before, do you want me to post a pic?

    Apple Lisa with Asset tags

    They could, would there be anyway to tell? The only hints are that the codes on the tags are two numbers off and that they are built right after each other, according to the sticker underneath

    Apple Lisa with Asset tags

    Hi everyone, I've had these Lisas for a while, since about November. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the asset tags? From some research I've only been able to find one other machine which is this one http://www.qatest.com/AppleLisa/Apple_Lisa.htm

    Macintosh XL Boot Issue

    I've recently acquired two Macintosh XLs with asset tags on them and have managed to swap out all the boards to get one combination that works but when I boot it up I get this weird screen (attached) where it is split into thirds and it won't for some reason boot from the floppy drive, could it...

    Macintosh Plus 800K Floppy drive circuit

    Yup okay thanks, do you have a picture or measurement from where I should start? And what way should I turn it? Also is there anyway to align it without having to remove the drive every single time? Thanks.

    Macintosh Plus 800K Floppy drive circuit

    Haha, that would be a pain, anyway I've contacted my local computer store to see if they would be able to realign them. What did you mean not repairable?

    Macintosh Plus 800K Floppy drive circuit

    Okay so I've fixed the wiring, booted the computer, and it's not clunking, but as soon as I insert a disk it rejects it and has a X floppy disk icon. Any ideas?

    Macintosh Plus 800K Floppy drive circuit

    Just finished wiring it, I don't know if all the connections are good, but now it's like rattling/clunking even without a disk, what is causing this?
