Here's a nice adaptor circuit board that allows me to use these Farallon AAUI MAUs with my AUI-having Ethernet card. I'm satisfied with this solution to my problem.

Amazing! Thanks for doing what you can to get your lucky find reverse-engineered. I hope it will be easy to dump the GALs! My 6100 has no cache so I'll be keeping an eye out for a clone of this thing.

My one weird trick for making Apple II DeskTop feel "fast enough" on a regular old Apple IIc is to spend a lot of time using Lisas.

Ha ha --- take that, Lisa! So much for using "spinach dentist beatles michael jackson apple 32 macintosh" as a passphrase...

I don't think this is so. My PJ-1080A still works and the replacement cartridges I have seem to be OK to me. I used mine with my Lisa to print xmas and valentines greetings in recent months (in colour of course). Unlike with most modern inkjets, the ink cartridges and the print head on the...

"Macintosh XL" was a marketing term, basically, and its precise interpretation differs in documentation and differs between different people. In my book, if it is running MacWorks of some version or other, you can call it a MacXL. Otherwise it is a Lisa. It's not the case that all of your...

I'm reminded that a few years ago, people found that Apple's Thunderbolt 4 Pro cables had a couple of Arm chips inside, each likely to be considerably more powerful than many of the systems mentioned in this thread.

OK, yes, on the Lisa this board is called the Video Board... That's a slightly snarky thing for me to say, but it got me wondering, so I went back to Adrian's video series (I've already seen all of it too) and searched through the transcripts. Adrian appears not to call it the Video Board; he...

This isn't a mixup of nomenclature either. It's literally called the Video Board. It has "VIDEO BOARD" written on it.

What a bizarre thing to say. And a substantial part of Adrian's episode 8 (or so) is all about fixing it!

I don't, but I'll note that the Lisa video board is the same one you'll find on the Lisa 2/10 and the Lisa 1.

It is hard to say without knowing more about the internal condition of the machine, particularly the area around the batteries; in fact I would say that we'd need to see pictures to even guess. A leaky battery can cause serious damage to the logic boards, wire harnesses, and the Lisa's metal...

Indeed. Anyway, what I said wasn't rude. Rude would be something like, "You can probably ignore @luRaichu as well, who seems to want to post like @finkmac but doesn't really have the same talent for it." @stefano.t , whatever you are trying to accomplish here, neither of these users will help...

I'm not the only person to point this out.

Try not to read too much into @finkmac 's posts, you were perfectly understandable the first time. Based on past activity, I think that user likes to make fun of non-native English speakers or of people who are new to this community. The fact that you said in your original post that your...
