lisa project seems quite cool even for today standards. I don't know a program that's as easy to use for os x that does the same thing.

UPDATE: IT WORKS!!! (well not exactly...). The drive read amazingly slow, but it actually works! It took me about 1 hour (literally) to boot the lisa test floppy for H roms. This surely means taht the pins i removed were the right ones. However, it may also mean that without an 800k I/O rom I'm...

the floppy drive cable is keyed. And i can identify the difference between the HD one and the floppy one. I'm quite sure that the pins I removed are the correct ones. The drive does not eject all the time, however it reads at an incredible low speed. When i try to boot it just stays there...

I'm sorry about hte posts. They got mixed up since one was regarding the aquisition of a new lisa while the other was only related to the floppy drive. I was looking at the cable yes. The drive itself is working .I have already put it back on my plus (ouch!) but i'll open it up and check the...

my lisa is a 2/10, with rom H88, and as far as I can tell it has no squared pixels modification. I'mbasing this on the rom number table that appears on the do it yourself lisa guide from sun remarketing. I'm still a bit confused regarding what I shold do to try to get my mac plus 800k drive...

I still have trouble identifying the right pins. I can see the yellow coloured cable, which I guess is no 1. But i can't determine if it's the top. Assumming it is should the pins be the following: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 I do have the red labeled drive on the mac...

The interface you mention is the lisa lite from what I can gather. And i don't have that since my lisa is a 2/10, which has a different I/O board. Meaning that you don't need the adapter to plug in 3 1/2" drives. Update: I tried removing pins 9 and 20 (assumming i got them right) and the eject...

I do have teh case for the harddrive and floppy drive fortunately. what are the pinouts of the disk drive?

I can't actually fix the drive because i don't have one! The machine didn't come with one. I guess the previous owner threw it away for some reason. However I'm not planning in removing the pins from the drive, that's too risky, i'm just planning in removing it from a cable I have. I have more...

Well to be honest, a while ago. That is about 2 weeks or so I saw one on ebay UK, and it was there only for 48 hours. Obviously I bid on it, but I didn't win . The auction ended around £150 or something and I had just bid £130. The price didn't go that high I think because it was there for a...

i didn't mean it literally. I could never really be bothered in making an aquarium, less alone taking care of fish :p I meant that if it was doomed to be unused, just being a museum item. It works fine, it's just the floppy and Hd missing. But that makes it useless unfortunately. I'll try...

Apparently a 400k drive of a 128k or 512k mac could work. However it will be nearly impossible to find one, less alone a lisa one. I suppose a 800k disk rom could also be useful.

I've been trying to find a suitable replacement for my lisa 2's floppy drive (it didn't come with one). I have tried an SE 800k and a Plus 400k floppy drive. What happens is that the drive keeps trying to eject a floppy (even is there's nothing there) all the time. SO it's constantly doing the...

I finally got an apple lisa! Although without a floppy drive or hardrive. It works, just need o figure out how to get a floppy drive and/or HD besides seeing if it's possible to cram the OS on a floppy.

It acutally was on ebay UK. Although I didn't win. However for some reason the auction winner did not buy it and I got a second chance offer which of course I took! I have seen the xprofiler btw but for 359 dls the price is way, way, way above what I could pay. It's double the cost of the lisa...

I just obtained a working Lisa 2! Mine is the one that does not have an external parallel port. However there are a few things missing :( Most notably the floppy drive. When I power on the lisa it does its system test ,and well since there is not HD or floppy drive i can't do much else...

weren't less than 10,000 lisas produced? if that's the case there's surely not that many around. Having said that, people an still appreciate your effort with emulators though.

reactive micro also sells CF card readers. They still have stock

It might be a problem with the High res mode. When I type HGR and then go into the monitor and start drawing dots by using commands such as 2100:1 the dots appear to me moving. They look like a ver small line instead of a dot. Could it also be because my apple IIe is pal and the program has...

When I use some program on the apple IIe (some high res program I think), the pictures look ok but the text is all giberish unreadable. For example when I run GEOS the icons look fine, but the text is all giberish for some reason. I get the same problem with Battle Chess for example. I tried...
