I/O ROM version 5E
« on: July 27, 2019, 10:50:57 am »

There's a few people on eBay selling Lisa parts, I guess their Lisas are broken in some way and they can't fix them, so they chop them up and sell the parts.This is from a CRT listing, but note the I/O ROM version is "5E" - I expect this is a corrupt ROM, which of course makes sense as the error reported 57 means there's something wrong with the floppy controller (which is where the I/O ROM lives).
This Lisa likely could have been fixed with a newly burned I/O ROM, instead this poor Lisa wound up being chopped up and sold for parts.  :'(
