As mentioned in my other thread I have acquired a non working Lisa 2/10.
First impressions, the machine actually boots as it puts out beeps as woud be expected:
At this moment I am not working on the machine, I have ordered some bits and pieces I came across on Ebay and local 2nd hand sites, being:
Hopefully anything but the actual tube!
I do have all the schematics (thanks to lisaem.sunder.net) so would say have a fair chance to find the culprit!
Will keep updating once I actually start on Lisa!
First impressions, the machine actually boots as it puts out beeps as woud be expected:
- high, high, low which is no keyboard/mouse, as indeed they are not connected.
- high, high, high which I think is no data received from the widget (no surprise there!)
At this moment I am not working on the machine, I have ordered some bits and pieces I came across on Ebay and local 2nd hand sites, being:
- Apple Lisa 2/10 spare parts - CRT POTS x6 (for video board), PSU switch assembly, plus bulb (the bulb on mine doesn't work)
- A set of 100 "Repair Foam Pads for Keytronic Keyboard, COMPLETE WITH CAPACITIVE CONTACT", as most likely a rebuild of the keyboard will be necesery
- A mouse for Mac 128/515/plus, looked to be the cheapest solution to working/compatible mouse
- And an "Apple Lisa Video Board, Untested", very likely not working, but was cheap enough and gives me parts etc to work with
- A set of "inch" sockets, so I can safely unscrew the CRT holding screws (I live in a metric country
)
Hopefully anything but the actual tube!
