68k Conquests

The conquest I've been waiting for...

Author	Topic
Jobf Junior Member United Kingdom 162 Posts	Posted - 10 Apr 2002 : 06:34:52 Thought I'd better call it a conquest rather than a liberation, and it's just about on topic, having a 68K processor and the possible capability to run Mac stuff! :) After a long, long time searching, I've found someone who wants to part with a Lisa 2! It comes with the keyboard and mouse, a Profile external hard drive, the Lisa manuals and an XL screen kit and an XL migration kit. It boots to the test screen/disk screen at the moment - the guy isn't sure whats up - he just says it doesn't boot with the disks he has. I've got to travel the length of the country to pick it up, and so am travelling down at the end of May when I have time off. But until then, I got some pictures sent down! http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~sjr/lisa5.jpg http://www.cs.stir.ac.uk/~sjr/lisa4.jpg The price? GBP250 (US$360). A lot of money, which means liquidating a few other assets, but worth every penny in my eyes.. Oh joy! :D Jobf

~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 10 Apr 2002 : 20:43:54 I'm sure that if you paid $360 for a Lisa 2 that you wouldn't use it as a Colour Classic enclosure. ~Coxy - Leader, Tactical Operations Unit 00014 Macs liberated

Do you think the plastic would've decomposed by now (does plastic decompose?) nope! i ran across a reference to other groups of lunatics planning "archaeological digs" out in utah besides the one we were blabbling about here! i wonder if anybody ever actually tried it. one of the comrades lives out there, who was it? hmmmm? jt ™

Hehe, too right Coxy! :-) LOL, i love the sparks that fly even when a just/kidding tag is attached to such an abominable suggestion! the 68kMLA flamethrower platoon doesn't see much action, so any excuse for some playtime will do! jt ™

FireWire is fast General, 4 star USA 1559 Posts	Posted - 11 Apr 2002 : 19:24:09 Imagine after all those years how far down those Lisas would be...it would be literally impossible to find them...unless you had the exact coordinates of where they are buried and had some kind of Lisa-detector... -------------------- keeper of the website and beholder of the Quadra/Centris Stick of Justice™ --------------------

Marchie Chaplain USA 911 Posts	Posted - 12 Apr 2002 : 15:06:24 Ok, no lie here... If pics can be found, and location pinpointed, I have a front end loader available for free. My Uncles run a construction company and gravel pit :-) ~Marchie ~Chaplain Marchie Holder of the Compact Mac - -Stick of Justice, with Explodeing CRT head -Wand of Power with Shocking Flyback Transformer Tip ~~"We are all Mad here"~~

My Uncles run a construction company and gravel pit :-) Might be cool if the pit is near Logan Utah! Otherwise renting one locally would probably cost less than flatbedding one round trip! I googled around a bit and posted some Lisa info in the Links Project. It seems there may just possibly be a public document available regarding the lease of landfill space in Logan by either apple computer or Sun Remarketing in September of 1989 if any of this conflicting info is true and the whole landfill incident isn't a hoax altogether! jt ™. .

Oh joy! :D i found some things for you to download to keep your joy going until you can get your Lisa 2 home. Check out the Links Project. There is a PILE of Lisa software and info waiting there to be downloaded and archived in case that site ever goes down! have fun! btw: you have NO idea how jealous I am of your impending acquisition! you'd better glom all the stuff I found for you and upload it to our servers! That way somebody can burn a ROM for me if I ever find one too! jt ™. .
