Hi all!
My wife and I visited VCF West a few months ago, and came home with a lovely Apple Lisa 2/10. The machine is in good shape overall, including a functional internal 10MB Widget drive with MacWorks XL installed. The only real issue with the machine that I'm aware of is that the upper Parallel port doesn't work properly (according to the previous owner).
I also bought an ESProfile (external hard drive emulator), which I have attached to the lower Parallel port. However, when I power on the Lisa and get to the boot select menu, pressing Apple-4 to select the lower Parallel port (where the ESProfile is attached) causes the ESProfile to blink twice, and then the Lisa emits three loud beeps and asks if I want to try again or just restart.
I've done the following troubleshooting steps:
What am I missing here? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I've done the following troubleshooting steps:
- Made sure the ESProfile is getting good power via a known-good Micro USB cable and known good wall charger
- Tested the ESProfile on both the upper and lower Parallel ports (same behavior either way)
- Flashed / updated the firmware on the ESP32 module according to the steps on the GitHub page
- Tried with a wide variety of bootable Lisa image files, each placed in the root of the microSD card and renamed "profile.image"
- Downloaded and tried to use the "Selector" bootable image
- Reformatted the microSD card and reinstalled various bootable images, each renamed "profile.image"
What am I missing here? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
