    three cables in a Macintosh XL

    The 220V-240V, 50Hz, .7A PS would be correct for Lisa's in Europe, it's nothing special.  Later Lisa 2/10 (XL) units with the widget drive used a 1.8A PS that was internally 120V-60Hz/240V-50Z switchable.  (Many users with 1.2A and .7A PS's upgraded to the better 1.8A later on) This is...

    three cables in a Macintosh XL

    The Apple part number may be different on the label, I don't know if it is or what is should be to indicate a 2/10. The normal differences that I look for to indicate a Lisa 2/10 (XL) from a 1 or 2/5 are: - the 1.8 PS (at least for USA spec systems) - a different motherboard without an...

    Calling Lisa gurus: Floppy Emu disk emulation

    So I have done testing to confirm what I had observed last year. Using my Floppy Emu, SN#67, App FW 1.0 L, CLPD FW 11 Last night I was able to boot Mac System 6.0.8 from a 800K Raw disk image on a Lisa2/5 running the MacWorks+II environment.  Works fine, but the floppy emulation is very-very...

    Calling Lisa gurus: Floppy Emu disk emulation

    bigmessowires, This is great news, my sole purpose for obtaining my FloppyEmu device was to make it work with the Lisa. I can confirm the FloppyEmu DOES work fine for me with the Lisa (at least for Macintosh disk images in the MacWorks Environment)!  Because of the lack to TAG byte support, I...
