Lisa Tank Problem
compu_85:
I was just looking on yahoo auctions Japan... looks like the Lisa was sold there too!
I wonder how many were sold there...
compu_85:
Added a few more systems from CHM and their catalog numbers, and some from a Redditor (one of which was made the same day as my "XL" system!)
As I add these, the estimate of the number of systems goes down...

So that answers one question - Macintosh XLs sold by Apple really were just 2/10s with a MacWorks boot disk instead of the Office System.
The only other question that remains is, if sales and manufacturing persisted into mid-1985, where are the systems from 1985? Unless those were the 2,700 that got dumped in Utah... but the article implies/says those were broken/RMA/returned machines, no?
compu_85:
As I understood it, the machines that got dumped had to be complete, working systems.
The date on "The last Lisa Lid" is 5/30/85. Stands to reason there should be some Lisas from 85....
One other note:
I found this picture on Adam's site: http://adam.trideja.com/Apple%20Computer%20Pics/Lisa/Lisa.jpg
Note the AppleNet number is the same as the one in the X/Profile video rom kit!

Here's another question: does anyone else have a power supply with a suspiciously serial number looking sticker on it?
I've got a early Apple supply, with sn 2719. My XL machine came with a Datapower 113056, and 2/10 has 80754.
I've spend some more time working on the sheet. By sorting all the systems by build date, then serial number, I was able to figure out the AppleNet numbers of some which were missing. There were also a few errors in serial numbers.
